History

The electorate existed in the 19th century from 1881 to 1890. It was represented by:

Thomas Dick 1881–84 (defeated)
William Downie Stewart 1884–90 (retired)

The electorate was recreated, from 1908 to 1946. Stewart's son, also called William Downie Stewart, represented the electorate from 1914 to 1935, when he was defeated.

In 1984 the electorate was recreated again, until the introduction of MMP in 1996. Clive Matthewson represented the electorate from 1984 to 1996. He left the New Zealand Labour Party in 1995, and was one of the founders of the United New Zealand party.
