The electoral district was created in 1871, and was one of the four original ridings allocated to Manitoba when it joined the Canadian Confederation in 1870. It is notable for being the riding that elected Louis Riel to the House of Commons as an independent.
For most of the first century after Confederation, the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives alternated for long runs in the riding. However, it has been in the hands of a centre-right party for all but three terms since 1957.
This riding lost territory to Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman and Portage—Lisgar , and gained territory from Selkirk—Interlake during the 2012 electoral redistribution .
