The district was one of 25 created before the [[1905 Saskatchewan general election|1st Saskatchewan general election]] in 1905. It was the riding of [[List of premiers of Saskatchewan|Premier]] [[Thomas Walter Scott]].

The '''Lumsden''' constituency was renamed "Regina County" between the [[1908 Saskatchewan general election|1908 election]] and the [[1912 Saskatchewan general election|1912 election]]. Redrawn to include the area of the abolished district of [[North Qu'Appelle]] in [[1934 Saskatchewan general election|1934]], the constituency was renamed "Qu'Appelle". Redrawn and renamed again as "Qu'Appelle-Lumsden" in [[1982 Saskatchewan general election|1982]], the riding was abolished before the [[1995 Saskatchewan general election|23rd Saskatchewan general election]] in 1995. It is now part of the [[Regina Qu'Appelle Valley]], [[Lumsden-Morse]], and [[Last Mountain-Touchwood]] constituencies.
