The district was created in the 2017 electoral district re-distribution when most of Wetaskiwin-Camrose joined with parts of Battle River-Wainwright, Leduc-Beaumont, and Drayton Valley-Devon. The Commission decided to unite the five reserves around Maskwacis into a single riding to eliminate the province's last non-contiguous riding. The resulting population of the Maskwacis-Wetaskiwin electoral district for 2017 was 43,798, which was 6% below the provincial average of 46,803.[2]
