Electoral district of Gough
Gough was an
Gough County, which includes the town of Glen Innes. It was created in the 1904 re-distribution of electorates following the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90.[1] It consisted of the abolished seat of Glenn Innes and part of Inverell
.
In 1920, with the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into Northern Tablelands, along with Armidale and Tenterfield.[2][3][4]
