Wetaskiwin (territorial electoral district)

Wetaskiwin was a territorial electoral district in the North-West Territories from 1898 to 1905. At the time of its creation it included the city of Wetaskiwin, Alberta and surrounding rural region. After the province of Alberta split from the North-West Territories in 1905, Wetaskiwin would continue to exist as a district until 1971.
