Electoral district of Broken Hill

Broken Hill was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales.

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

Because of the large area covered by the district, in 1889 it was split into 3, Wentworth, Sturt and Wilcannia.

[5] The 1903 New South Wales referendum required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90 and Broken Hill absorbed Alma for the 1904 election.

In 1927, single-member electorates were recreated and the city of Broken Hill was split between Sturt and Murray.
