The district was created in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended abolishing Spruce Grove-St. Albert and Stony Plain, creating a district that is well above the provincial average in population. The Commission reasoned this was preferable to placing part of either community in a neighbouring district.[2]
