History
The electoral district of Calgary-Foothills was created in the 1971 boundary redistribution from most of the area that comprised the old electoral district of Calgary Bowness.
The 2010 boundary redistribution saw only minor revisions made to the electoral district. The district was expanded north into land from whence Foothills-Rocky View where the city of Calgary annexed new land. The district also lost some land to Calgary-Hawkwood that comprised most of the neighborhood of Citadel south of Stony Trail and west of Sarcee Trail.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“Properly speaking, history is nothing but the crimes and misfortunes of the human race.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
