It was defined initially as "Bounded on the West by the Boundary Line of Victoria and South Australia; on the North by the River Murray; on the East by a Line to Lake Bael Bael, thence by the River Avoca to its Source; and on the South by the Boundaries of the Counties of Follett, Dundas and Ripon".[1]
In the Electoral Act of 1858 (which took effect in 1859), Wimmera was reduced in size and to one member; the Electoral district of Crowlands was created which incorporated part of the previous Wimmera district.[2]
In the Electoral Act of 1877 established the seat as a two-member constituency, reabsorbing Crowlands.[3]
In the redistribution of 1889, Wimmera was abolished and new districts including Horsham, Lowan and Donald & Swan Hill were created.
