History
Notre-Dame-de-Grâce was created in 1939 under the name of Montreal-Nôtre-Dame-de-Grâce. The name was shortened in 1965.
Notre-Dame-de-Grâce is a predominantly anglophone riding.
It has voted Liberal since the 1960s except in 1989 to 1994 when Gordon Atkinson, a broadcaster, won the seat. Atkinson was elected under the Equality Party banner — a now defunct party that promoted the use of English on an equal footing with French.
