History
The original electorate of Motueka and Massacre Bay was represented by three MPs: Alfred Christopher Picard 1853–55, Charles Parker 1855–56, and Herbert Curtis 1856–60.
The renamed Motueka electorate was continued to be represented by Curtis 1861–66, then Parker again 1866–75. David Monro represented the electorate in 1871 until he was unseated by Parliament on a petition. Parker was followed by Richmond Hursthouse 1876–87, then John Kerr 1887–90.
At the 1931 election George Black stood as an Independent and was successful. From 1932 to 1938 the Motueka electorate was represented by future prime minister Keith Holyoake. He was defeated by Jerry Skinner, who was a likely Labour prime minister if he had not died prematurely.
Population Centres
Localities within the electorate were Collingwood, Takaka, Motueka and Mapua. Massacre Bay is these days called Golden Bay.[1]
