The riding was created in 1992 from an amalgamation of the ridings of Whitehorse North Centre and Whitehorse South Centre. It underwent moderate boundary changes in 2002 following the dissolution of its neighboring riding of Riverside.

The district is considered a safe New Democratic seat; the party has won 9 of the last 10 elections since its creation.
