The riding was created when Ontario became a province in 1867, initially consisting solely of the City of Ottawa. It was expanded in the 1894 redistribution to include the villages of Ottawa East and Hintonburg, the unincorporated community of Mechanicsville and that part of the Township of Nepean located in Lots 36, 37, 38 in Concession A of Ottawa Front (mostly the area around the Bayswater community,^[1] today the area east of Parkdale Avenue and north of Carling Avenue). The riding was abolished in the 1908 redistribution into Ottawa East and Ottawa West.

When the Ottawa district had two members, 1894-1908, each voter could cast up to two votes (Block Voting).
