The re-created Edmonton-South has the Whitemud Creek and Rabbit Hill Road as its western boundary, the Henday as its northern boundary (except the area between Rabbit Hill Road and the Whitemud Creek south of 23rd Ave NW), 91st St SW and 88 St SW as its eastern boundary, and extends South to Highway 19 on the west side of the QEII according to the City of Edmonton's plan to annex a portion of Leduc County.
The incumbent in 1913 was Alexander Rutherford, who had resigned as Premier of Alberta in 1910 but remained a Liberal MLA.
He ran for re-election as a private member in the renamed Edmonton South, but was defeated by Conservative Herbert Crawford, a Whyte Avenue merchant.
A similar surprise occurred in southside Edmonton in 1989, when sitting premier Don Getty (MLA for Edmonton-Whitemud) was unseated by a Liberal challenger.
In 2017, the Electoral Boundaries Commission decided to re-use the name Edmonton-South for a new district, carving it mostly from Edmonton-South West and smaller parts of Edmonton-Whitemud, Edmonton-Ellerslie and Leduc-Beaumont.
