Electoral history
The electoral district was created in 1913 as part of a contentious boundary redistribution that saw the Calgary provincial electoral district broken up into three single member constituencies, the other two being South Calgary and Centre Calgary. Conservative candidates won all three districts that year on a wave of anti Liberal support in the city as electors were unhappy with Premier Arthur Sifton. Calgary North would swing to the Liberal column in the 1917 general election as incumbent Samuel Hillocks was defeated by star candidate journalist William Davidson. The electoral district would be abolished in 1921 as Calgary was reconstituted into a five-member district.
