Cowra was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales from 1894 to 1904, including the town of Cowra.[1][2][3]
Prior to 1894 the town of Cowra was part of the district of Carcoar which returned two members. Multi-member constituencies were abolished in the 1893 redistribution, resulting in the creation of 76 new districts, including Cowra.[4] Carcoar was abolished and the eastern part was given to West Macquarie and the western part to the new district of Cowra, along with the south-western part of Orange. The electoral district included parts of the counties of Bathurst and Forbes.[5][6] At its establishment in 1894 Cowra had 1,903 enrolled voters, slightly less than the average of 2,046.[7]
Cowra was abolished in 1904 when the number of members of the Legislative Assembly was reduced from 125 to 90 as a result of the 1903 New South Wales referendum.[8] and was partly replaced by Belubula.
