History: The riding has been held by the Saskatchewan Party since it was created prior to the 2003 election. Prior to that, most of the riding was in Battleford-Cut Knife, which elected the Saskatchewan Party in 1999 and the NDP in 1995. Before that, the area was split between the ridings of Cut Knife-Lloydminster and Turtleford, both of which tended to be bellwether seats.
