History
Clarence was created in 1859, replacing the New South Wales part of Clarence and Darling Downs. With the introduction of proportional representation in 1920, it was absorbed into Byron along with Lismore. It was recreated in 1927.

It has historically been a safe seat, having been held by that party for all but seven years in its current incarnation. However, has won it at high-tide elections.
