History

The electoral district was originally created in 1966 from Edmonton East and Edmonton West ridings.

It was abolished in 1976, with parts of it being transferred to Edmonton North, Edmonton East and Edmonton West ridings.

It was re-created in 2003 from Edmonton West, Edmonton Southwest and a small part of Edmonton Centre-East.

Edmonton Centre lost territory to Edmonton West and gained territory from Edmonton—Spruce Grove during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
