Bathurst county in the 1840s

The Electoral district of County of Bathurst was an electorate of the New South Wales Legislative Council at a time when some of its members were elected and the balance were appointed by the Governor.[1]

It was created by the 1843 Electoral Districts Act and returned one member.[1] The towns of Bathurst, Kelso and Carcoar were removed from the district with the expansion of the Council in 1851 and became the district of Western Boroughs.[2]

In 1856 the unicameral Legislative Council was abolished and replaced with an elected Legislative Assembly and an appointed Legislative Council. The district was represented by the Legislative Assembly electorate of Bathurst.
