The riding covered the neighborhoods of Riverbend, Acadia, Fairview, Willowpark, Mapleridge and Ramsay, Kingsland and Manchester.

The district was named after Frederick George Moore Perceval, 11th Earl of Egmont who lived in the Calgary area until his death in 2001.

He won re-election the 1989 general election with a reduced majority and retired from the assembly at dissolution in 1993.

He faced a strong challenge from Liberal candidate Dick Nichols who polled the strongest non Progressive Conservative vote since 1971.

The last representative was Jonathan Denis who won the district for the first time in the 2008 general election after facing a hotly contested and controversial nomination battle against Craig Chandler.

The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority.
