It was incorporated into the city with amalgamation in 2001 (elections were held in 2000).

Previously, the ward existed on the earlier Ottawa-Carleton Regional Council.

The ward is represented on city council by Laine Johnson.

It was created in 1950, when Ottawa's west end was annexed from Nepean Township.

The ward eventually became smaller and smaller, and by 1972 it only consisted of the area south of the Queensway and west of Clyde Avenue.
