The riding was created in the 1997 electoral district re-distribution to encompass the area north and east of the city of Calgary. The former Three Hills-Airdrie electoral district was split, with the north part of the riding merged with Olds-Didsbury, to form Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills, the south half forming the eastern portion of Airdrie-Rocky View. The southern portion of Olds-Didsbury and western portion of Drumheller would also be transferred to Airdrie-Rocky View.

The Airdrie-Rocky View electoral district was abolished in the 2003 electoral boundary re-distribution and the territory being formed into the new electoral districts of Airdrie-Chestermere to the east, and Foothills-Rocky View to the west.{{cite web|title=Proposed Electoral Division Areas, Boundaries, and Names for Alberta.
