The district was created in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended renaming Edmonton-Meadowlark, alongside a change in boundaries that saw the Meadowlark Park neighbourhood (among others) moved out of the riding. The Commission decided to name the district after Anthony Henday Drive which bisects the riding, rather than simply "Edmonton-West" to avoid confusion with the federal district of that name. [2]
