History

The seat had two incarnations. The first was from 1873 to 1878 and the second from 1912 to 1960. [1]

In 1873, it was created by renaming the electoral district of Drayton & Toowoomba. In 1878, its name was changed back to Drayton & Toowoomba (but as a 2-member constituency). [1]

Its second incarnation began in 1912 when Drayton & Toowoomba split into Toowoomba, East Toowoomba and Drayton. [1] The sitting member for Drayton & Toowoomba, James Tolmie, successfully stood for election in Toowoomba in 1912 after the split. [2]

Toowoomba was abolished in the 1960 redistribution. [1] The sitting member, Mervyn Anderson, successfully stood for election in the new seat of Toowoomba East in the 1960 election. [2]
