History
The district was based in the northern suburbs of Perth and was created first contested at the 1977 state election. The seat was won by Liberal candidate Mick Nanovich, then member for the abolished Toodyay.
Whitford was captured by Labor candidate Pam Beggs, when Labor came to power at the 1983 state election. The seat was lost to Liberal candidate Rob Johnson at the 1993 state election, again coinciding with a change of government. Whitford was abolished ahead of the 1996 state election and Johnson successfully contested the replacement seat of Hillarys.

gollark: I mean, I guess it might be a net gain since you're seemingly just selling to "the market" instead of other players?
gollark: The only way to make money is to post or hope that other people will be silly and invest?
gollark: Which was kind of the case before - my autoinvestor bot was extremely successful just investing in any post with a large number of investments.
gollark: Honestly I think it's kind of stupid even with lots of players, since the only thing which has any impact on how much you get is how many other people wildly jump on the bandwagon.
