District of Saskatchewan

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.^{[citation needed]} The district was abolished with the creation of the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1905.

Most of the boundaries of the district were defined by lines of the Dominion Land Survey.
