It comprises 5 neighbourhoods: Neufchâtel-Est, Lebourgneuf, Duberger, Les Saules and Vanier.

These former municipalities kept their respective name as neighbourhoods of Quebec City with the exception of Charlesbourg-Ouest which was renamed Lebourgneuf.

Following the creation of the new city of Quebec in 2002, Neufchâtel was dismantled, with most of it going to La Haute-Saint-Charles borough.

The borough is mostly an industrial area with a few residential neighbourhoods (Vanier, Duberger and Les Saules.)

In recent years the population has increased following a large amount of residential development, particularity the construction of condos along Boulevard Robert-Bourassa.
