History The riding was created in 1968 from Laval and was known as Duvernay until 1990 when it became Laval East. Upon redistribution in 2003 it was renamed Alfred-Pellan after the famous Quebec artist Alfred Pellan. Also it lost a small part of its territory to the newly created Marc-Aurèle-Fortin riding.
The riding lost territory to Vimy and Marc-Aurèle-Fortin during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, it gained territory east of Boul. des Laurentides from Vimy.
