Weyburn (provincial electoral district)

Weyburn was a former provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, from 1908 to 1995.

The district was created for the second Saskatchewan general election in 1908. It contained the town of Weyburn and extended into the surrounding countryside.[1]

The district was dissolved in the redistribution following the 1991 federal census. It was combined with parts of the Bengough-Milestone district to become Weyburn-Big Muddy, for the 1995 general election.[2]

From 1944 to 1961, Premier Tommy Douglas was the Member of the Legislative Assembly for the Weyburn riding.
