History

The riding has existed twice, the first incarnation was created in 1917 when the Edmonton electoral district broke up into Edmonton East and Edmonton West electoral districts. The two districts were merged along with Edmonton South in 1921 to reform the Edmonton electoral district.

The second incarnation was carved out of the south portion of Edmonton North West in 1963. In 1971 the riding was renamed Edmonton-Glenora.
