Edmonton Northwest was first created in 1987 from parts of Edmonton East, Edmonton North, Edmonton West and Pembina ridings, comprising the northwest part of the city of Edmonton. It was abolished in 1996 when it was redistributed into Edmonton West and Yellowhead ridings.

Edmonton Northwest was re-created by the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, combining the Edmonton portion from St. Albert—Edmonton with several northerly communities of Edmonton West.[2][3]
