The 'District of Saskatchewan' was a regional administrative district of
Canada's
Northwest Territories. Much of the area was incorporated into the province of
Saskatchewan. The western part became part of
Alberta, and the eastern part (which extended to
Lake Winnipeg) is now part of
Manitoba. Its capital was
Prince Albert. The district was abolished with the creation of the provinces of
Saskatchewan and
Alberta in
1905.
