The electoral district of Bourassa was created in 1966 from Mercier and Laval ridings. The name comes from a street running through the three neighbourhoods which is named after Henri Bourassa.

The name of the riding was changed to "Montreal—Bourassa" in 1971.

In 1976, Montreal—Bourassa was abolished when it was redistributed into a new "Bourassa" riding and Saint-Michel riding. The new Bourassa riding was created from parts of Montreal—Bourassa, Ahuntsic and Anjou—Rivière-des-Prairies ridings.

This riding lost territory to Honoré-Mercier and gained territory from Ahuntsic during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

This riding has elected the following members of parliament:
