History and geography

This riding was first created in 1914 from Edmonton riding. Originally, this was a vast rural district including most of the northwestern quadrant of the province of Alberta and a portion of the city of Edmonton: the area north of the North Saskatchewan River and west of 101st Street. [6]

In 1924, it took in parts of the now-abolished Strathcona riding that had been within Edmonton city limits. It took in the southside area lying west of 103rd Street. [7]

In 1924 the northern rural sections were also separated to form the ridings of Peace River and Athabasca.

In 1933 the more southerly portions became Jasper—Edson. The areas nearer the city but outside it became Pembina in 1966.

The urban part of riding similarly shrank over time as Edmonton's population expanded and new districts were spun off from Edmonton West. Parts of Edmonton West were lost to Edmonton—Strathcona (in 1952), Edmonton Centre (for the first time in 1966), and Edmonton North (in 1976). However, it also gained area from the (temporary) abolition of Edmonton Centre in 1976.

Edmonton West was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed into Edmonton Northwest and Edmonton Southwest ridings. It was re-created in 1996 from the abolished Edmonton Northwest and redrawn Edmonton Southwest ridings.

Edmonton West was abolished again in 2003 and transferred mostly into the re-formed Edmonton Centre, with a smaller portion going into Edmonton—Spruce Grove. It was re-created by the 2012 Canadian federal electoral redistribution from parts of the abolished Edmonton—Spruce Grove and redrawn Edmonton Centre.
