History
Boundary history
The district was created as Edmonton North West in the 1959 redistribution which broke up the mega-ridings of Edmonton and Calgary, creating a number of single-member districts in their place. It was replaced with Edmonton-Calder in 1971, but re-created from the same riding in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended moving the Calder neighbourhood (among others) out of the riding. The district also gained three neighbourhoods from Edmonton-Castle Downs .
Representation history
The district was represented from 1959 to 1971 by Edgar Gerhart of the Alberta Social Credit Party , who had already served as one of several MLAs for Edmonton before it was split. He served as Minister of Municipal Affairs under premier Ernest Manning for his final term, and briefly as Attorney General as well under Harry Strom . Gerhart was defeated in Edmonton-Calder in the 1971 election .
