The riding was created in 1966 as "Lakeshore" from part of York—Humber, the same year the 'Lakeshore municipalities', Mimico, New Toronto, Long Branch were annexed to the new Borough of Etobicoke. In 1971, it was renamed "Toronto—Lakeshore". In 1976, it was abolished, and replaced by "Etobicoke—Lakeshore".

The riding was represented by federal Liberal Party and official Opposition leader Michael Ignatieff, who was first elected in 2006, until he was unseated in the 2011 General Election by Conservative Bernard Trottier. It was previously represented by Jean Augustine. Provincially, it has been represented by Peter Milczyn since 2014. On Toronto City Council, the southern half of the riding is represented by Mark Grimes, and the northern half by Justin Di Ciano.

In the 1988 federal election, there was no Liberal candidate on the ballot because two days after nominations were due, the Liberal candidate, Emmanuel Feuerwerker, withdrew citing heart problems after the news media reported that Mr. Feuerwerker's campaign literature claimed university degrees that he did not, in fact, possess.[4]
