Electoral district of Belmore

Belmore was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, created in 1904 in inner Sydney from Sydney-Belmore and parts of the abolished seats of Sydney-Cook and Sydney-Phillip. It was named after Governor Belmore. It was originally in northern Surry Hills bounded by Elizabeth Street, Liverpool Street, Oxford Street, Riley Street and Foveaux Street.[1] In 1920, with the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into the multi-member electorate of Sydney.[2][3][4]
