It was created for the 1981 election. Its final general election was in 1998; there was also a by-election in 2002. It disappeared in the 2003 election as its territory was carved up and divided among the new electoral district of Jeanne-Mance–Viger and the existing electoral districts of Anjou and Rosemont.
It was named jointly for Denis-Benjamin Viger and Jacques Viger (1787–1858).[2]
