Electoral district of Hume

For the federal electorate, see Division of Hume.

Hume was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales established in 1859 in the Albury area, named after Hamilton Hume. It did not include the town of Albury after the creation of the electoral district of Albury in 1880. From 1880 to 1894, it elected two members. Following federation, the 1903 NSW referendum decided that the Legislative was to be reduced from 125 to 90 members and in 1904 Hume was abolished and partly replaced by Corowa with the balance absorbed into Albury.[1][2][3]
