History
The electoral district was established when the province was created in 1905. The district boundaries have been revised many times over the last century but have still consisted of a vast rural swath of North West Alberta.
The 2010 boundary redistribution saw the district gain a portion of land that belongs to the Municipal District of Northern Lights that was in the old Dunvegan-Central Peace district.
