It was created prior to the 1975 provincial election and eliminated in 1996, when its territory was incorporated into the riding of Scarborough Centre. Scarborough—Ellesmere riding was created from parts of the former ridings of Scarborough North, Scarborough West and Scarborough Centre. It was in the former borough of Scarborough.

Four Members of Provincial Parliament represented the riding during its history. The most notable was David Warner who served as Speaker of the Legislature from 1990 to 1995.
