Borung had four separate members until it was abolished in a redistribution and became the electoral district of Kara Kara and Borung in 1927. [2]
The district was re-created in 1945, when the electoral district of Kara Kara and Borung was renamed in a redistribution, and the Dimboola and Horsham subdivisions of Lowan were subsumed into the new district. [3] The district reverted to its original name of Lowan in 1955. The second incarnation of Borung only had one member—the sitting member for Lowan at its creation, Wilfred "Mick" Mibus—who was still the member for the district when it reverted to Lowan. [4]
