In the days of the State Council it comprised the present-day Agalawatte, Bulathsinhala and Matugama constituencies. In 1946, it was divided into two, the eastern portion becoming Agalawatte (itself subdivided in 1960 by the creation of Bulathsinhala).Since 1989 it has been an electoral division of the Kalutara District, not a constituency sending a member to parliament in its own right.<a href="http://matugama.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Map</a></blockquote>
