Improvement District (I.D.) No. 12 was originally formed as I.D. No. 80 on April 1, 1945, through the amalgamation of I.D. Nos. 379, 438, 439, 469, 499, 500, and 530, as well as portions of I.D. Nos. 348, 378, 436, 437, 466, 468, 498, 528, 529, and 558.[2] I.D. No. 80 was renumbered to I.D. No. 12 on January 1, 1969.[2]

A second improvement district, Jasper Improvement District, was separated from I.D. No. 12 on August 31, 1995.[2] Jasper Improvement District subsequently became a specialized municipality named the Municipality of Jasper on July 20, 2001.[4]
