Canolbarth Môn was created following the Isle of Anglesey electoral boundary changes in 2012,[2] which created 11 multi-councillor wards from 40 single-councillor wards. Prior to this Canolbarth Môn was covered by Bryngwran and parts of the Bodffordd, Cefni, Cyngar and Tudur county wards which each elected their own county councillor.

At the county elections on 2 May 2013, leader of the County Council and the Original Independents, Bryan Owen and leader of the Plaid Cymru group, Bob Parry, stood for election in Canolbarth Môn.[1]

Since the May 2017 county elections, the ward has been represented by three Plaid Cymru councillors, Nicola Roberts, Dylan Rees and Bob Parry.[3]
