History
In the first Parliament, 1856-57, there was a four-member electoral district called
Sydney (City) with voters casting four votes, and the four leading candidates being elected. In 1857, it was renamed
Sydney and, in 1859, it was replaced by the four-member districts of
East Sydney and
West Sydney. In 1894, the three four-member districts of East Sydney, West Sydney and
South Sydney (created in 1880) were replaced by ten single-member districts with "Sydney" in their title:
Sydney-Belmore,
Sydney-Bligh,
Sydney-Cook,
Sydney-Denison,
Electoral district of Sydney-Fitzroy,
Sydney-Flinders,
Sydney-Gipps,
Sydney-King,
Sydney-Lang,
Sydney-Phillip and
Sydney-Pyrmont. In 1904, these electorates were renamed or abolished.
In 1920, the inner-city electoral districts of
Belmore,
Darlinghurst,
King,
Paddington,
Phillip and
Surry Hills were combined to create a new incarnation of
Sydney, which elected five members by
proportional representation. This was replaced by the single member electorates of King, Paddington, Phillip and Surry Hills for the 1927 election.
Sydney was recreated for the
2007 election, largely replacing the abolished district of
Bligh.
