The riding was renamed from York West for the 2015 federal election as a part of a riding redistribution process.

Sgro’s first run for a federal seat was in 1997 when she ran for the riding of York South—Weston and lost to Independent John Nunziata. She was elected as the MP for Humber River—Black Creek, when it was known as York West, in 1999, and has represented the area for more than two decades.

This riding is home to 108,037 residents and 69,524 registered voters. Almost 60 per cent of the population consists of immigrants from origin countries like Italy, Vietnam and Jamaica.

Residents in this riding natively speak more non-official languages than English and French combined.
