The electoral district was created by Royal Proclamation in 1885. The electoral district was named after the settlement of St. Albert situated just northwest of Edmonton. The first incarnation of the district was abolished in 1888 after it was merged to become part of the Edmonton electoral district under the North-West Representation Act 1888. Edmonton would be broken up again after dissolution of the 1st North-West Legislative Assembly in 1891 and the district recreated. The electoral district was abolished in 1905 when Alberta and Saskatchewan were created.
