It was created in 2007 as '''Coatbridge North and Glenboig''', originally covering around twice as much territory between Coatbridge and [[Condorrat]] about {{convert|4|miles}} further north, largely rural and sparsely populated but including the expanding commuter village of [[Glenboig]]. A nationwide boundary review in 2017 that recommended more representation for the area overall led to this rural half being placed in a [[Gartcosh, Glenboig and Moodiesburn (ward)|separate new ward]] (along with [[Gartcosh]] and [[Moodiesburn]] from the [[Stepps, Chryston and Muirhead (ward)|Strathkelvin ward]]), but the electorate in the existing ward reduced only a slightly as a result and the number of seats was unaffected.

Location of the ward
Location of the ward [1]

Coatbridge North is one of the twenty-one wards used to elect members of the North Lanarkshire Council.[2] It elects four councillors. Covering neighbourhoods in the north of Coatbridge (Blairhill, Cliftonville, Drumpellier, Dunbeth, Gartsherrie, Greenhill, Parklands, Summerlee, Sunnyside, Townhead and the town centre), the ward had a population of 15,146 in 2019.[3]

It was created in 2007 as Coatbridge North and Glenboig, originally covering around twice as much territory between Coatbridge and Condorrat about 4 miles (6.4 km) further north, largely rural and sparsely populated but including the expanding commuter village of Glenboig. A nationwide boundary review in 2017 that recommended more representation for the area overall led to this rural half being placed in a separate new ward (along with Gartcosh and Moodiesburn from the Strathkelvin ward), but the electorate in the existing ward reduced only a slightly as a result and the number of seats was unaffected.
