This riding was created in 1987 from parts of Mississauga North riding. It consisted of the eastern part of the City of Mississauga. The electoral district was abolished by both the federal and provincial governments in 2003 when it was re-distributed into the ridings of Mississauga East—Cooksville (and provincial counterpart), Mississauga South (and provincial counterpart), and Mississauga—Brampton South (and provincial counterpart).
