Electoral district of Corowa

Corowa was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly of the Australian state of New South Wales, taking its name from town of Corowa..

It was created in the 1904 re-distribution of electorates following the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90.[1] It consisted of parts of Albury, The Murray and the abolished seat of The Hume.

In 1920, with the introduction of proportional representation, Corowa, Albury and Wagga Wagga were absorbed into Murray and elected four members. At the end of proportional representation in 1927, Corowa was recreated ran through until 1950 until it was abolished.[2][3][4]
