History
The electoral district was created in the 2003 boundary redistribution from the old electoral districts of Clover Bar-Fort Saskatchewan, Redwater and Vegreville-Viking.
The 2010 boundary redistribution saw significant changes made to the district with land residing in Beaver County south of Tofield being moved to Battle River-Wainwright and land in Strathcona County north of Alberta Highway 16 being transferred into the electoral district from the old Strathcona electoral district.
