Talk:Electoral districts of South Australia

Untitled
I wonder if it might be an idea to format this as a table, with a bit of information about each electorate (population, key towns, etc). It looks somewhat bare at the moment. Rebecca 06:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Former electoral districts
Does anyone have a list of former electoral districts? I have noticed mention of: I'm sure I'd find others if I looked hard enough.
 * Electoral district of Albert
 * Electoral district of Alexandra
 * Electoral district of Alexandrina
 * Electoral district of Stanley
 * Electoral district of Sturt

Can anyone confirm that Alexandra and Alexandrina were different names for either different places or different times, or is one a typo?

Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 10:59, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * What timeframe are we talking about? I've got a copy of the biographical dictionary out from the library at the moment, as well as photocopies of the member lists for the first ten or so parliaments, so I might be able to help here. Rebecca 03:49, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Here's the list where I've found them so far: Also the first incarnation of Electoral district of Torrens (1902-1915) is missing: Crawford Vaughan 1905.
 * Electoral district of Albert (South Australia) - Archibald Peake 1893, 1897
 * Electoral district of Alexandra - Archibald Peake, William Carpenter (Australian politician) 1902
 * Electoral district of Alexandrina - replaced by Electoral district of Finniss in 1991
 * Electoral district of Encounter Bay - William Carpenter (Australian politician) 1896
 * Electoral district of Stanley - Henry Barwell 1915...1940
 * Electoral district of Sturt - Thomas Reynolds 1857, Samuel Way 1875, Josiah Symon 1881, Crawford Vaughan 1915,
 * electoral district of Wooroora - Richard Layton Butler elected 1915 and 1921

Sorry for being slow responding. Life outside wikipedia is busy lately. --Scott Davis Talk 11:50, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

These are the now-abolished ones from the first eleven parliaments, which is all I have access to at the moment.


 * Albert
 * Barossa
 * Burra
 * City of Adelaide
 * Gumeracha
 * East Adelaide
 * East Torrens
 * Encounter Bay
 * Gladstone
 * Mount Barker
 * Newcastle
 * Noarlunga
 * North Adelaide
 * Onkaparinga
 * Stanley
 * Sturt
 * The Burra
 * The Burra and Clare
 * The Murray
 * The Sturt
 * Yatala
 * Victoria
 * Wallaroo
 * West Adelaide
 * Wooroora
 * Yorke Peninsula

This goes through to 1887. I'll expand the list as I move on with my parliaments project. Rebecca 14:20, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
