The ward was created in 1953 and its boundaries were changed for the 1973, 2004 and 2023 elections. Between 1980 and 2004 the ward was disestablished.

The ward was first established in 1953.

The ward was re-formed for the 2004 Municipal elections from the former Aigburth and Dingle wards. [1]

The ward boundaries were Promenade Gardens, Dingle Lane, Ullet Lane, Croxteth Gate, Mossley Hill Drive, Aigburth Road, the southeastern property line of Fulwood Drive, and the River Mersey. [1]

The population of the ward at the 2011 census was 12,991, [2] and at the 2021 census of 12,482. [3]

2023 boundaries

The ward boundaries were changed in 2023 following a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England which decided that the existing 30 wards each represented by three Councillors should be replaced by 64 wards represented by 85 councillors with varying representation by one, two or three councillors per ward. The St Michael's ward was reformed as a single-member ward. The ward boundaries retained the centre of the 2004 ward, losing the southern section to the new Festival Gardens ward and the northern section to the new Sefton Park ward. [4]
