The party was established in 1984 as a merger of the local association of the Centre Party and the Caithian People's Party. Both parties failed to enter the Cynulliad in the 1980 election.

The new party was known as the Trawlers' Party, a name it kept until the 2010 election when it rebranded as Trawlers' Interest.
Since first entering the Cynulliad in 1985, the party has acted as Caithia's third party. For much of its history, it has been the largest of the unionist parties in the assembly. It has participated in a number of governments, working with both [[Forward (Caithia)|Forward]] and other unionist parties.
