The district was created in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended renaming Edmonton-Mill Creek, reflecting a change in boundaries that "leaves the part of Mill Creek most well-known to Edmontonians in the constituency of Edmonton-Gold Bar," [2] as the northern boundary of the district moved southward to Highway 14. The western and southern boundaries saw adjustments as well.
