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.
