History

The electoral district was created in 1871 after Manitoba joined the Canadian Confederation in 1870. It is notable for being the district that elected Louis Riel to the House of Commons.

The riding elected Liberal Party of Canada MPs from 1904–1957, but for the better part of the last half-century has been one of the more conservative ridings in Manitoba and all of Canada. Nevertheless, the riding has fallen to the Liberals at high-tide elections, such as from 1968–1972 and 1993–2000.

This riding lost territory to Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman and Portage—Lisgar, and gained territory from Selkirk—Interlake during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
