The district was created in 1987 under the name Anjou—Rivière-des-Prairies from parts of Gamelin, Montreal—Mercier and Saint-Léonard—Anjou ridings.

It consisted of:

• the Borough of Anjou;
• the parts of the Town of Montréal bounded by:

1. Sherbrooke Street East, Duquesne Street, Rosemont Boulevard and Lacordaire Boulevard; and
2. Autoroute de la Rive Nord, Henri-Bourassa Boulevard East; the limits of the towns of Montréal-Est, Anjou and Montréal-Nord to the point of commencement.

In 2003, its name was changed to Honoré-Mercier and its boundaries were adjusted slightly such that 95.5% of the riding came from the original Anjou—Rivière-des-Prairies, while 4.5% came from Hochelaga—Maisonneuve.

This riding lost territory to La Pointe-de-l'Île and Hochelaga, and gained territory from Bourassa during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
