History

The Calgary-Millican electoral district was created in the 1970 electoral boundary re-distribution from part of the Calgary-East and Calgary South electoral districts.[2]

The Calgary-Millican electoral district was abolished in the 1993 electoral boundary re-distribution, where the district was split, with the south part of the riding joined Calgary Shaw and the north merged with Calgary-Forest Lawn to re-form Calgary East electoral district.

It was named after the neighbourhood of Millican, in the Ogden community.

Historically this riding covered much of the same boundaries when it was split in 1989 as Calgary-Fort.
