Cardston was one of the original 25 electoral districts contested in the [[1905 Alberta general election]] upon Alberta joining [[Canadian Confederation|Confederation]] in September 1905. The district was carried over from the old [[Cardston (N.W.T. electoral district)|Cardston]] electoral district which returned a single member to the [[Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories]] from 1902 to 1905. The member for the Northwest Territories seat, [[John William Woolf]] would be elected in the [[1905 Alberta general election]].<ref name="oldresults">{{cite web | url =http://www.saskarchives.com/web/seld/1-00.pdf | title =North-West Territories: Council and Legislative Assembly, 1876-1905 | publisher =Saskatchewan Archives | access-date = 2007-09-30 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070928101028/http://www.saskarchives.com/web/seld/1-00.pdf |archive-date = 2007-09-28}}</ref>

The riding has always occupied the most southern portion of the province along the [[Canada]] / [[United States]] border.

The Cardston electoral district was abolished in the 1993 electoral boundary re-distribution, with the borders of the [[Pincher Creek-Crowsnest]] electoral district shifted south into Cardston, and the district was renamed [[Cardston-Chief Mountain]].

The riding was named after the [[Cardston, Alberta|Town of Cardston]] and this region is considered one of the most conservative in the province.

On October 30, 1957 a stand-alone plebiscite was held province wide in all 50 of the provincial electoral districts in [[Alberta]]. The government decided to consult Alberta voters to decide on liquor sales and mixed drinking after a divisive debate in the Legislature. The plebiscite was intended to deal with the growing demand for reforming antiquated liquor control laws.<ref name="vote">{{cite news|title=Albertans Vote 2 to 1 For More Liquor Outlets|publisher=The Lethbridge Herald|date=October 31, 1957|pages=1–2|work=Vol L No 273}}</ref>

The plebiscite was conducted in two parts. Question A asked in all districts, asked the voters if the sale of liquor should be expanded in Alberta, while Question B asked in a handful of districts within the corporate limits of Calgary and Edmonton asked if men and woman were allowed to drink together in establishments.<ref name="57pleb"/>

Province wide Question A of the plebiscite passed in 33 of the 50 districts while Question B passed in all five districts. Cardston recorded the strongest vote in the province against expanded sale of liquor, this was likely due to the strong Mormon communities in the district, which had made Cardston a dry city since 1904.<ref>Edmonton Bulletin, Jan. 26, 1907</ref> The district also recorded a strong voter turnout. It was well above the province wide average of 46 percent.<ref name="57pleb"/>

Official district returns were released to the public on December 31, 1957.<ref name="57pleb"/> At first the Social Credit government said it did not consider the results binding,<ref name="binding">{{cite news|title=No Sudden Change In Alberta Drinking Habits Is Seen|publisher=The Lethbridge Herald|date=October 24, 1957|page=1|work=Vol L No 267}}</ref> but soon the government repealed the existing liquor legislation and introduced an entirely new ''Liquor Act''.<ref name="aftermath">{{cite news|title=Entirely New Act On Liquor|publisher=The Lethbridge Herald|date=March 5, 1968|page=1|work=Vol LI No 72}}</ref>

Municipal districts lying inside electoral districts that voted against expanded liquor sales such as Cardston were designated Local Option Zones by the Alberta Liquor Control Board and considered effective dry zones, business owners that wanted a license had to petition for a binding municipal plebiscite in order to be granted a license.<ref name="57liqact">{{cite book|title=Alberta Bills 12th Legislature 1st Session|publisher=Government of Alberta|chapter=Bill 81|page=40|year=1958}}</ref>
