The Division was created in 1830 as Bletsoe Petty Sessional Division, changing to Sharnbrook in 1872. Historically the division comprised the parishes Bletsoe; Bolnhurst; Carlton; Chellington; Colmworth; Upper Dean; Lower Dean; Farndish; Felmersham; Harrold; Keysoe; Knotting; Melchbourne; Milton Ernest; Odell; Pavenham; Pertenhall; Podington; Radwell; Riseley; Sharnbrook; Shelton; Souldrop; Little Staughton; Thurleigh; Tilbrook; Wymington and Yielden.
Tilbrook was taken out of the division on the parish being transferred to Huntingdonshire and at some point Swineshead was added to the Division.
The division was abolished in 1964 and a new division called Bedford & Sharnbrook created (for which see PSB). This Division was ultimately renamed North Bedfordshire Division (see PSNB).
