History

"Saint-Léonard" riding was first created in 1976 from parts of Maisonneuve—Rosemont, Mercier and Saint-Michel ridings. The name of the riding was changed in 1977 to Saint-Léonard—Anjou before an election was held. It consisted of the City of Saint-Léonard, the Town of Anjou, and part of the City of Montreal.

The neighbouring ridings are Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, Papineau, Ahuntsic, Bourassa, Honoré-Mercier, and Hochelaga.

The current electoral district was created as "Saint-Léonard" riding in 1987 from parts of Gamelin and Saint-Léonard—Anjou ridings. In 1996, its name was changed to "Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel" when its boundaries changed and now included part of the neighbourhood of Saint-Michel.

This riding lost some territory to Papineau, and gained territory from Ahuntsic and Hochelaga during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

During the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel lost territory north of Boul. Langelier and west of Rue Bombardier to Honoré-Mercier; This left part of the borough of Saint-Léonard in that riding. The boundary with Hochelaga along Rue Bélanger moved to the borough boundary between Rosemont—La-Petite-Patrie and Saint-Léonard.
