The 2010 boundary redistribution saw the riding shrink on its north boundary to Anthony Henday Drive from roughly 34 Avenue, losing some land to Edmonton -Mill Woods and Edmonton-Mill Creek.

The first election held that year saw incumbent NDP MLA Gerry Gibeault switch from that district to run in Ellerslie.

On May 28, 2004 Carlson vacated her seat to run in the 2004 federal election in the Edmonton—Strathcona district.

NDP candidate Rod Loyola won the seat three consecutive times - 2015, 2019, and 2013.

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