It was one of four districts, alongside
Legislative Assembly of Yukon was established in 1978.[2]
The district elected Willard Phelps in the 1974 election,[3] but Don Branigan filed for a court injunction to overturn his election on the grounds that as the government was renting space in Phelps' commercial real estate holdings for some of its liquor stores, his serving on the council placed him in a conflict of interest.[4] Phelps was removed from office in 1975; Branigan ran in the resulting by-election, but lost to Walt Lengerke.[5]
