Whitehorse is the capital of Yukon, and the largest city in Northern Canada. It was incorporated in 1950 and is located at kilometre 1426 on the Alaska Highway in southern Yukon. Whitehorse's downtown and Riverdale areas occupy both shores of the Yukon River, which rises in British Columbia and meets the Bering Sea in Alaska. The city was named after the White Horse Rapids for their resemblance to the mane of a white horse, near Miles Canyon, before the river was dammed.
Yukon is the smallest and westernmost of Canada's three territories. It is the third-least populated province or territory in Canada, with a population of 45,148 as of 2023. However, Whitehorse, the territorial capital, is the largest settlement in any of the three territories.

Mayo was an electoral district which returned an MLA to the Legislative Assembly of the Yukon Territory in Canada. It was created in 1928, at a time when it was one of three districts who elected advisors to the Yukon Territorial Council.

Ogilvie was a territorial electoral district in the Canadian territory of Yukon, which was represented on the Yukon Territorial Council from 1974 to 1978. The district comprised part of Dawson City, extending northerly to the Ogilvie Mountains region, while the southerly part of Dawson City was in the separate district of Klondike. The idea of splitting Dawson City in this manner was controversial, however, due to a perceived risk that if both Ogilvie and Klondike elected councillors who lived in their districts' other, smaller communities, Dawson City itself would have been left effectively unrepresented on the council despite being the most important community in both districts; in the 1974 Yukon general election, however, Dawson City residents won both districts, with Eleanor Millard winning in Ogilvie while Fred Berger carried Klondike.
