The federal riding was created in 1987 from York—Scarborough. It consisted in initially of the part of the City of Scarborough bounded on the west by Victoria Park Avenue, on the north by Steeles Avenue East, on the east by the Canadian National Railway line situated immediately west of Midland Avenue, and on the south by Ellesmere Road.

In 2003, it was given the boundaries as described above.

A by-election was held on June 30, 2014 as a result of the resignation of Member of Parliament Jim Karygiannis to run for City Councillor in the 2014 Toronto municipal election.{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-byelections-set-for-june-30-1.2639097|title=Federal byelections set for June 30|publisher=CBC News|date=May 11, 2014|access-date=May 11, 2014}}

Following the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution, the riding lost the part of the riding east of Midland Avenue to the new riding of Scarborough North.

Following the death of Member of Parliament Arnold Chan on September 14, 2017, his widow, Jean Yip, won the seat.{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/arnold-chan-death-1.4289409|title=Liberal MP Arnold Chan dies after battle with cancer|last=Wherry|first=Aaron|publisher=CBC News|date=September 14, 2017|access-date=September 14, 2017}}
