The historic 1959 redistribution of the provincial ridings of Calgary and Edmonton standardized the voting system back to First Past the Post. From 1926 to 1959, members in Calgary and Edmonton were elected by Single Transferable Vote, while the rest of the province had the option of how to count ballots. The redistribution created nine ridings in Edmonton. The other eight ridings were Edmonton Centre, Edmonton North, Edmonton Norwood, Edmonton North East, Edmonton North West, Strathcona East, Strathcona Centre, and Jasper West.
In 1971 the riding was split between Edmonton-Whitemud and Edmonton-Parkallen.
