Electoral district of North Hobart
The electoral district of North Hobart, sometimes referred to as Hobart North, was an electoral district of the Tasmanian House of Assembly. It was based in Tasmania's capital city, Hobart.
The seat was created as a single-member seat ahead of the 1871 election following the dissolution of the multi-member Hobart Town seat. In 1886, it became a two-member seat, and at the 1897 election, it was abolished when the seat of Hobart was created under a trial of the Hare-Clark model.
The seat was then recreated as a single-member seat at the 1903 election and was abolished when the Tasmanian parliament adopted the Hare-Clark electoral model for the entire state in 1909.

gollark: It's a "wiki-style personal note-taking app" and also eternally unfinished.

gollark: The upshot of this is that you can press "s", type a query, have relevant pages semifuzzily matched, and press "enter" to navigate to the one you want (assuming the one you want is also at the top). HIGHLY productive.
gollark: Also, when the search query box comes into existence it's focused using javascriptoids™, *and* when you press enter in it it goes to the first matching page you aren't already on.
gollark: ```javascriptdocument.body.addEventListener("keydown", e => { if (e.target === document.body) { // maybe use alt instead? or right shift or something - this just detects unfocused keypresses if (e.key === "e") { location.pathname = urlForPage(currentPage, "edit") } else if (e.key === "v") { location.pathname = urlForPage(currentPage) } else if (e.key === "r") { location.pathname = rlForPage(currentPage, "revisions") } else if (e.key === "s") { state.showingSearchDialog = !state.showingSearchDialog m.redraw() } }})```
