South Yarra Province was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council [1] from November 1882 until May 1904. [1]

The Legislative Council Act, 1881, created and defined the South Yarra Province as:

Legislative route (Minnesota)

In the U.S. state of Minnesota, a legislative route is a highway number defined by the Minnesota State Legislature.

All of them were listed in the constitution until a 1974 rewrite.

Legislative routes with numbers greater than 70 can be added or deleted by the legislature.
