History
Multi-member constituencies were abolished in the 1893 redistribution, resulting in the creation of 76 new districts, including Sherbrooke.[5] Sherbrooke consisted of the north western part of the four member district of Central Cumberland, a south eastern part of the single member district of The Hawkesbury and an eastern part of the single member district of The Nepean.[6][7]
Sherbrooke was expanded to include part of The Hawkesbury and parts of the abolished districts of The Nepean and Ryde and Willoughby as a result of the 1903 New South Wales referendum which reduced the number of members of the Legislative Assembly from 125 to 90.[8] The district was abolished in 1913.[9]
