The riding was last contested in the 2020 general election, when it returned Saskatchewan Party MLA Joe Hargrave.
One of two provincial constituencies for the city of Prince Albert, the other being Prince Albert Northcote, the riding's northern boundary follows 15th Street (Hwy. 302) from east to west; then curves south along 9th/10th Avenue West to 28th Street, which the boundary follows westward until the city limits.
The riding was created in 1989 out of Prince Albert and Prince Albert-Duck Lake and was first contested in the 1991 general election. Its boundaries have remained generally the same since its creation, aside from several minor changes (mostly involving the riding's northern boundary with Prince Albert Northcote) during province-wide electoral redistributions completed prior to the 1995, 2003 and 2016 general elections.
Since being created, the riding has returned members of the New Democratic and Saskatchewan Parties. The initial New Democratic Party MLA, Myron Kowalsky, was elected in every general election between 1991 and 2007. After Kowalsky's retirement in 2007, Saskatchewan Party candidate Darryl Hickie won by a thin majority of 62 votes, and the constituency has returned Saskatchewan Party candidates ever since.[1]
