The district of Ovens was one of the initial districts of the first Victorian Legislative Assembly, 1856.[1] It was defined in the Victorian Constitution Act 1855 (taking effect at the 1856 elections) as:
Commencing at the Junction of Whorouly Creek with the River Ovens, bounded on the West by a Line bearing North Twenty Miles, thence on the North by a Line bearing East to the Little River, on the East by the Little River to its Source in the dividing Range, thence by the dividing Range and a Line South to a Point on the Ovens River Nine Miles above its Junction with the River Buckland ; on the South by a Line from the last-mentioned Point to the Source of the River Buckland, thence by the dividing Range to the Source of the River Buffalo, and again on the South and West by that River and the Ovens to the commencing Point.[4]
Ovens was superseded by Electoral district of Wangaratta and Ovens in 1927.[2]
