It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for 19 October 2015.[3] It was created out of the bulk of Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, as well as parts of Edmonton—Leduc, Wetaskiwin, and Vegreville—Wainwright.[4]

According to the 2021 census, Edmonton—Wetaskiwin is the most populated riding in Canada, with almost 100,000 residents more than the national average of 109,444. Its population grew at a rate of 89.28% since the 2011 census (on which the 2013 representation order was based).[5][6]
