It was created for the 1966 election from parts of the former Montréal-Outremont and Westmount–Saint-Georges electoral districts.
The boundaries of the D'Arcy-McGee electoral district on the 2011 electoral map are identical to the previous boundaries. Following the 2017 redistribution, the riding will lose its territory in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce to the riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and will gain a large part of the Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood from Mont-Royal and Outremont.
The riding was named after Thomas D'Arcy McGee, a Father of Confederation.
