The riding was created for the 1986 election from parts of three ridings: the town of Westlock was transferred from Athabasca, while the part of Sturgeon County around Morinville was transferred from St. Albert, along with a small part of Redwater-Andrew.
The riding was abolished only seven years later at the next redistribution. The northern half of the riding was transferred to Barrhead-Westlock, with Morinville and the area east of it going to Redwater and the remainder to Spruce Grove-Sturgeon-St. Albert.
The riding's only MLA was Nicholas Taylor, who had led the Liberal Party through its decade-long drought. His election in 1986, along with three other Liberals in Edmonton and Calgary, was a breakthrough for the party.
He was replaced by Laurence Decore as party leader only two years later, but was re-elected in Westlock-Sturgeon in 1989. For the second term in a row, Taylor was the only Liberal MLA in rural Alberta. When the riding was abolished in 1993, he went on to serve as MLA for Redwater.
