This riding was created in following the admission of Saskatchewan into the Canadian Confederation in 1905 from the former Northwest Territories riding Provisional District of Saskatchewan.
The sitting member in the prior riding at the time was John Henderson Lamont, who resigned in 1905.
The only member actually elected to this seat was George Ewan McCraney, in a by-election in 1906.
The electoral district was abolished in 1907 when it was redistributed into the ridings of Battleford, Prince Albert, and Saskatoon.
By-election: Resignation of Mr. John Henderson Lamont, 5 September 1905
