Abstract: We show that on a metric graph of genus $g$, a divisor of degree $n$ generically has $g(n-g+1)$ Weierstrass points. For a sequence of generic divisors on a metric graph whose degrees grow to infinity, we show that the associated Weierstrass points become distributed according to the Zhang canonical measure. This distribution result has an analogue for complex algebraic curves, due to Neeman, and for curves over non-Archimedean fields, due to Amini. However, the results in this paper are purely combinatorial statements which are proved using elementary combinatorial arguments. No algebraic or analytic geometry is needed.
