Saskatoon County
Saskatoon County was a provincial electoral division for the Legislative Assembly of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Created as "Saskatoon" before the 1st Saskatchewan general election in 1905, the district encompassed the three communities that merged to form the city in 1906. Redrawn and renamed "Saskatoon County" in 1908, the riding was abolished and combined with the districts of Biggar, Rosthern and Hanley before the 8th Saskatchewan general election in 1934.
It is now part of the constituencies of Martensville, Saskatoon Southeast, and Rosetown-Elrose.
