Lac La Biche-St. Paul history
Boundary history When created, the riding contained Lakeland County and the County of St. Paul No. 19 and all communities contained within, and was later expanded to include Two Hills. The Lac La Biche-St. Paul electoral district did not have any boundary changes throughout its history. The electoral district was dissolved in the 2010 electoral boundary re-distribution and replaced by the Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills prior to the 2012 Alberta general election.

He left the Liberal caucus the following year, and went on to join the governing Progressive Conservatives. He was re-elected under their banner in 1997.
Upon Langevin's retirement, the riding was won by PC candidate Ray Danyluk, who served as Alberta's Minister of Municipal Affairs, and afterwards the Minister of Infrastructure. After three terms, he was defeated in the newly renamed riding of Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills by Wildrose candidate Shayne Saskiw in the 2012 election.
