The district was created in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended renaming Edmonton-Centre (to reduce confusion with similarly-named federal districts).[2] The Commission also extended its border north to the Yellowhead Highway between 97 St NW and 109 St NW, adding the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology's main campus to the riding.
