History

The district was created in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended abolishing Airdrie and Chestermere-Rocky View, completely reorganizing the ridings surrounding Calgary to reflect the rapid growth in the area. In 2017, the Airdrie-East electoral district had a population of 49,978, which was 7 per cent above the provincial average of 46,803 for a provincial electoral district.

In the 2019 Alberta general election, United Conservative Party candidate and incumbent from the former Airdrie electoral district, Angela Pitt was elected with 67 per cent of the vote, defeating New Democratic Party candidate Roxie Baez Zamora with 20 per cent of the vote, and four candidates.

In the 2023 Alberta general election, Angela Pitt was re-elected on a reduced majority.
