Electoral district of Bowral

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bowral was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales,[1][2][3] one of 76 new districts created with the abolition of multi-member electorates in 1894. Bowral was named after and included the town of Bowral and comprised part of the district of Camden.[4] The district was abolished in 1904 as a result of the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which reduced the number of members of the Legislative Assembly from 125 to 90.[5] Bowral was largely replaced by the new district of Wollondilly, along with parts of Argyle, Camden and Hartley.[6]
