This riding was created in 1966 from portions of Mercier and Papineau ridings. From 1966 to 1979 it encompassed the neighbourhood of Saint-Michel and the then independent city of Saint-Leonard. In 1979 its boundaries changed and now included the neighbourhood Ahuntsic while Saint-Leonard was redistributed into Saint-Leonard-Anjou. In 1983, it was renamed "Saint-Michel—Ahuntsic". It was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed into Ahuntsic and Papineau—Saint-Michel ridings.
