The district was created in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended abolishing Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock and Athabasca-Sturgeon-Redwater, creating a new riding from the southern portions of the two and a small part of St. Albert. The Commission reasoned that St. Albert and Morinville were a natural fit, owing to their shared franco-Albertan heritage. [2]
