History edit
The riding was created by the 2018 provincial redistribution out of parts of Logan, Wolseley and Minto. The riding is presumably named for Union Station and according to the boundaries commission "to recognize the important role of the railway in the establishment of Winnipeg".
Location edit
The riding contains most of Downtown Winnipeg and parts of the neighbourhoods of West Broadway and Spence.
