History

Montcalm riding was created by the British North America Act 1867. It was abolished in 1914 when it was merged into L'Assomption—Montcalm riding.

It was re-created in 2003 from parts of the ridings of Berthier—Montcalm, Repentigny, and Terrebonne—Blainville.

This riding lost territory to Terrebonne and gained some territory from Repentigny during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, it lost Saint-Calixte to Les Pays-d'en-Haut.
