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:

• Electoral district of Albert
• Electoral district of Alexandra
• Electoral district of Alexandrina
• Electoral district of Stanley
• Electoral district of Sturt

I'm sure I'd find others if I looked hard enough.

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:

• 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

Also the first incarnation of Electoral district of Torrens (1902-1915) is missing: Crawford Vaughan 1905.

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

• 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)
