Electoral district of Hastings (New South Wales)
Hastings was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales from 1859[1] to 1880. It was replaced by Hastings and Manning from 1880[2] to 1894, which elected two members with voters casting two votes and the two leading candidates being elected. In 1894 it was divided between the single-member electoral district of Hastings and Macleay and Manning. In 1920 proportional representation was introduced and Hastings and Macleay was absorbed into the new four-member district of Oxley. The electorate was named after the Hastings, the alluvial valleys of which contained most of its population.
