The district draws its population from the northwestern parts of York County and southern parts of Carleton County, the boundaries commission proposed it be named "York" which might have been confused with [[York (1995-2014 provincial electoral district)|its immediate predecessor of the same name]] which was based in southwestern York County. The two districts share only about 12% of population in common. Accordingly, a committee of the legislative assembly changed the name to Carleton-York before the district could be contested.<ref>http://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/news/news_release.2014.06.0713.html</ref>
