In 2004, the riding was renamed Papineau and it kept 96 per cent of the Papineau-St-Denis riding. The riding was created in 1996 from 64 per cent of St-Denis and 57 per cent of Papineau-St-Michel.

Political History
In the 2008 election, Justin Trudeau, son of the late prime minister, took back this riding for the Liberals, edging out Bloc Québécois incumbent Vivian Barbot by only 1,230 votes. Liberal incumbent Pierre Pettigrew lost his seat in 2006, falling to Barbot.
Pettigrew narrowly held this riding in 2004, defeating Bloc Québécois challenger Martine Carrière by just 468 votes. Pettigrew was first elected in a 1996 byelection in Papineau-St-Michel, then re-elected in 1997 and 2000 in Papineau-St-Denis. He was appointed minister of international co-operation, minister responsible for the Francophonie and minister of human resources in 1996. He became minister of international trade in 1999, a post he held until 2003. Then prime minister Paul Martin named him minister of health, minister of intergovernmental affairs and minister responsible for official languages. In 2004, he became minister of foreign affairs.
St-Denis riding was Liberal from 1917. Liberal Marcel Prud'homme won the 1964 byelection and also won from 1965 to 1988 inclusive. He was appointed to the Senate by Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney in 1993. In 1993, Liberal Eleni Bakopanos won St-Denis.
The original Papineau (before 1987) and Papineau-St-Michel riding was Liberal from 1957. André Ouellet was the MP from the 1967 byelection to 1984 inclusive. He served as minister responsible for Crown corporations, minister of regional economic development, postmaster general, minister of consumer and corporate affairs, minister of urban affairs, minister of public works, minister responsible for Canada Post, minister of labour, president of the Privy Council and government House leader.
