The population in Wentworth had grown significantly since the 1880 redistribution, especially as a result of the growth of mining at Broken Hill.

Its first member was the son of Charles Dickens. It was abolished in 1904 due to the re-distribution of electorates following the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90. The district was divided between Cobar and the new district of The Darling. The member for Wilcannia was Richard Sleath who unsuccessfully contested the 1904 election for The Darling.
