Electoral district of Tenterfield
Tenterfield was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, originally created in 1859, partly replacing New England and Macleay, and named after, and including, Tenterfield. In 1920, with the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into Northern Tablelands, along with Armidale and Gough. It was recreated in 1927 and abolished in 1981 and partly replaced by the recreated Northern Tablelands. For its entire tenure as a single-member seat, it was held by the Bruxner family of the National Country Party. Future Deputy Premier and longtime party leader Michael Bruxner won the seat in 1927, handing it to son Tim in 1962. Members for Tenterfield
