History

This riding was originally created in 1907 from parts of District of Alberta and Calgary ridings.

It was abolished in 1966 when it was redistributed into Rocky Mountain, Palliser, Crowfoot, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat ridings.

It was re-created in 1987 from Bow River, Lethbridge—Foothills, Medicine Hat and Wild Rose ridings.

Due to the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution the riding was abolished prior to the next election. Most of the riding was transferred to the new riding of Foothills. Small parts were also transferred to Bow River, Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner and Banff—Airdrie. Small portions that had been annexed into Calgary joined Calgary Midnapore and Calgary Signal Hill.
