West Moreton was the name of two incarnations of an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland.
In the inaugural 1860 election, there were five candidates for the three-member electoral district of West Moreton: George Thorn (senior), Alfred Broughton, Pollett Cardew, J. Kent, and the Rev.
However, Mr Chubb on behalf of the unsuccessful Mr Cardew protested against the election of the Reverend Nelson as he was a priest in holy orders and was therefore disqualified from being elected.
Joshua Peter Bell won the resulting by-election on 15 December 1862.
[5][6][7] The district seated two Premiers: Robert Herbert and George Thorn, Jr.
