Electoral district of Singleton

Singleton was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian colony (and state from 1901) of New South Wales created in 1894, existing from 1894 until 1913.

Multi-member constituencies were abolished in the 1893 redistribution, resulting in the creation of 76 new districts, including Singleton.

[4] Singleton largely replaced the Patrick's Plains along with part of the two member district of The Upper Hunter.

As well as its namesake, Singleton included the towns of Belford, Branxton, Broke, Camberwell, Greta, Sedgefield, Warkworth, Wittingham and Wollombi.

[7] The district was abolished in 1920 with the introduction of proportional representation and it was absorbed into the multi-member Maitland.
