Electoral district of Petersham

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Petersham was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, created in 1894 with the abolition of multi-member electoral districts from part of Canterbury, and named after and including the Sydney suburb of Petersham. With the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into the multi-member electorate of Western Suburbs. It was recreated in 1930, partly replacing Enmore but was abolished in 1941.^[1]
