History

Montcalm riding was created by the British North America Act of 1867. It was abolished in 1914 when it was merged into L'Assomption—Montcalm riding.

It was re-created in 2003 from parts of the ridings of Berthier—Montcalm, Repentigny, and Terrebonne—Blainville.

This riding lost territory to Terrebonne and gained some territory from Repentigny during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
