The district was created in 1992 as Halifax Fairview and encompassed the Cowie Hill area, formerly part of Halifax Atlantic; the Fairview area, formerly part of Halifax Bedford Basin; and the area west of the CNR tracks, formerly part of Halifax Chebucto. In 2013, following the recommendations of the 2012 Electoral Boundaries Commission, it was renamed Halifax Armdale and gained 18 per cent of the district of Halifax Atlantic, including the area east of Herring Cove Road and north of the Frog Pond Park. It lost the area north of Highway 102 and east of Northwest Arm Drive and Dunbrack Street to Fairview-Clayton Park.[2]

Halifax Armdale has a relatively small landmass at 12 km2 (4.6 sq mi).[3]
