History

In 1864, the Additional Members Act created six additional electoral districts, each returning 1 member:

The first elections in these six electorates were held in 1865 (that is, during a parliamentary term and not as part of a general election across Queensland). The nomination date for the election in Maryborough was 30 January 1865 and the election was held on 1 February 1865.^[1]

Between 1878 and 1912, the district elected two members, and then returned only a single member to the present time (2014).^[2]
