The district was created in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended joining part of Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills to Bonnyville-Cold Lake. The Commission recommended naming the district Cold Lake-St. Paul, but the Assembly decided to retain Bonnyville in the name.

Some local officials expressed discontent with the creation of this riding, especially given that it is the most populous of the new districts. [2] According to the 2016 census, its population is 15% above the mean. The Commission justified this variance because, in their opinion, "this is an area where future population growth is likely to fall well below the provincial average." [3]

The district first elected United Conservative MLA Dave Hanson who had previously been elected to Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills as a Wildrose candidate in 2015. Hanson originally contested the UCP nomination against former Wildrose MLA for Bonnyville-Cold Lake Scott Cyr who would drop out prior to the constituency vote. [4] Hanson would defeat his next closest competitor, NDP candidate and teacher Kari Whan by over 12,000 votes. [5]
