Electoral district of Petersham

Petersham was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, created in 1894 with the abolition of multi-member electoral districts from part of Canterbury, and named after and including the Sydney suburb of Petersham. With the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into the multi-member electorate of Western Suburbs. It was recreated in 1930, partly replacing Enmore but was abolished in 1941.[1]
