It was created when Saskatchewan became a province, replacing the territorial electoral district by the same name, which was established in 1894. The current boundaries of the constituency were set by the Representation Act, 2012 (Saskatchewan).
Founded as "York City" in 1882, Yorkton (pop. 15,038) became a city on February 1, 1928.
