History

Prior to 1894 the town of Deniliquin was part of the district of The Murray which returned two members. Multi-member constituencies were abolished in the 1893 redistribution, resulting in the creation of 76 new districts, including Deniliquin. [4] Deniliquin consisted of parts of The Murray, Balranald and The Murrunbidgee. [5] [6]

Deniliquin was expanded to include part of The Murray 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. [7]

The district was abolished in 1913, with the majority of the district, including the town of Deniliquin being absorbed by The Murray and the eastern part being absorbed by Corowa. [8]
