History

The electoral district was originally created in 1924 from the ridings of Winnipeg South and Winnipeg Centre. Its first iteration was generally located west of the Red River and north of the Assiniboine River. In 1952, it gained parts the Rural Municipality (and later city) of St. James. In 1966, it gained parts the municipalities of Assiniboia, and Charleswood, and the Town of Tuxedo. By this time, the riding had moved further west and crossed the Assiniboine.

In 1976, it was abolished with its territory transferred to the ridings of Winnipeg—Assiniboine and Winnipeg—St. James.

The electoral district was re-created in 1987 from parts of the redrawn ridings of St. Boniface and Winnipeg North Centre, and the abolished Winnipeg—Assiniboine and Winnipeg—Fort Garry. The new riding was almost entirely south of the Assiniboine River, except for Downtown Winnipeg, and had very little territory in common with the original Winnipeg South Centre. The riding contained all of Downtown Winnipeg south of Portage Avenue, plus the neighbourhoods of Alpine Place, Crescentwood, Earl Grey, Winnipeg, Ebby-Wentworth, Elm Park, Glenwood, Grant Park, J. B. Mitchell, Kingston Crescent, Lord Roberts, Mathers, McMillan, the northern half of Norberry, River-Osborne, River Heights, Riverview, Rockwood, Roslyn, St. George, Varennes, Wellington Crescent, and Tuxedo east of Edgeland Blvd.

The district's boundaries were redistributed in 1996. It lost all of its territory east of the Red River to St. Boniface; it lost all of Downtown Winnipeg north of York Avenue and east of Main Street to Winnipeg Centre. It gained Armstrong's Point and West Broadway south of Portage Avenue from Winnipeg North Centre; and it gained the remainder of Tuxedo plus the neighbourhoods of Assiniboine Park, Edgeland, Old Tuxedo, Sir John Franklin, and Vialoux from Winnipeg South.

The 2003 redistribution moved the riding entirely south of the Assiniboine for the first time, losing its territory north of the Assiniboine to Winnipeg Centre. The riding also lost Assiniboine Park and Vialoux to Charleswood—St. James. It gained the neighbourhoods of Beaumont, Buffalo, Chevrier, Crescent Park, Maybank, the western half of Pembina Strip, Point Road, and Wildwood from Winnipeg South.

This riding gained the neighbourhoods of Brockville, Linden Woods, Tuxedo Industrial and the remainder of the Pembina Strip from Winnipeg South during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

Following the report from the 2022 electoral redistribution, the riding is set to lose the Tuxedo area to the new riding of Winnipeg West, while adding Whyte Ridge, Linden Ridge and West Fort Garry Industrial from Winnipeg South.
