History
The constituency was carved out of Hong Kah Group Representation Constituency (GRC) as a SMC during the 2011 elections.
In the 2011 general election, this ward gave the People's Action Party a strong mandate of 70.6% despite the national average dropping to 60.1%. Sin Kek Tong also received the second-lowest percentage of votes from all candidates.
In 2020, parts of Jurong West (Bulim) were transferred to West Coast GRC, and parts of the Tengah ward from Chua Chu Kang GRC were transferred to this constituency. This is due to the growing development of Tengah New Town and also the remaining public housing projects in Bukit Batok West.
Town Council
Hong Kah North SMC, along with Chua Chu Kang GRC, is managed by Chua Chu Kang Town Council.
