Roslyn was a parliamentary electorate in the city of Dunedin in the Otago region of New Zealand from 1866 to 1890.
Fifteen additional South Island electorates were created, including Roslyn, and the number of Members of Parliament was increased by 13 to 70.
[1] Roslyn began as quite a large electorate, covering areas on the northern half of the Otago Peninsula as far east as St Leonards, Leith Valley, and western Dunedin suburbs including Roslyn.
[2] In the 1870 electoral redistribution, the area was reduced in the north (resulting in the loss of Leith Valley to Taieri) and south-west.
[4] In the 1881 electoral redistribution, the area reduced significantly and comprised western suburbs only; St Leonards and Leith Valley were both lost at that time.
