History

The electoral district was created in 1924 mostly from Jacques-Cartier, Westmount—Saint-Henri and Laurier—Outremont ridings, with small parts taken from St. Antoine and St. Lawrence—St. George. The electoral district was actually abolished twice since 1924, in 1966 and in 1987; however, the district to replace it kept the same name and incumbent both times. Between the 1935 and 1949 elections, the riding did not contain any of the Town of Mount Royal, and was instead based in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and Montreal West.

This riding remained largely intact during the 2012 electoral redistribution, losing a small (uninhabited) territory to Outremont. The riding's English name was eliminated in the redistribution, but was reversed by the Riding Name Change Act, 2014.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding gained the territory south of Boul. Décaire and west of Ch. Côte-Saint-Luc from Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount.
