Electoral district of Greenough (Legislative Council)


Greenough was an electoral district of the Legislative Council of Western Australia from 1870 to 1890, during the period when the Legislative Council was the sole chamber of the Parliament of Western Australia.
Greenough was one of the original ten Legislative Council districts created by the Legislative Council Act 1870. In the west, the district's boundaries contained areas of the southern Mid West and northern Wheatbelt. It also ran inland to the border with South Australia, though those regions were almost unpopulated at the time. The major settlement in the district was the town of Greenough.
Four men represented Greenough in the Legislative Council between 1870 and 1890, with Charles Crowther serving the longest. The district's final member, William Loton, was elected to the Legislative Assembly after the advent of responsible government in 1890.
