Electoral district of Stanley (Queensland)


The electoral district of Stanley was a Legislative Assembly electorate in the state of Queensland.

History

Stanley was created by the Electoral Districts Act of 1872 as a single-member seat. From 1878 it became a two-member constituency through incorporation of part of the Electoral district of West Moreton
from which it had been derived in 1872. Stanley was abolished in the 1949 redistribution which placed most of it in the new Electoral district of Somerset.
