Present-day North Kildonan was originally part of the rural municipality (RM) of Kildonan. In 1914, the area was divided into the RMs of West Kildonan and East Kildonan.[13]

At that time, the East Kildonan community disagreed on the area's future. People in the southern part were interested in development, and favoured investing heavily to expand civic services; the north, on the other hand, was a rural enclave of approximately 1,000 people, with many of its farms dating back to the Selkirk Settler period.[13]

Seeking independence, the northern residents petitioned the provincial government, resulting in the incorporation of the Rural Municipality of North Kildonan on 1 January 1925. The new municipality assumed nearly $100,000 in debt, which was fully paid off by 1946.[13][14]

In 1927–1928, land near present-day Edison Avenue and Henderson Highway was sold to Mennonite settlers, mainly chicken farmers and gardeners.[14]

Following the Second World War, suburban expansion led to development in North Kildonan, bringing new housing, roads, and schools.[14]

In 1969, North Kildonan had three wards. It elected a mayor and four councillors.[15]

In 1972, North Kildonan was amalgamated with the City of Winnipeg, along with the other Kildonans and several other municipalities, bringing Winnipeg to its current size.[16]
