Electoral district of Grafton

Electoral district of Grafton

Grafton was electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales from 1880 to 1904 and was named after and included the town of Grafton. Its only member was John See, who held it for the Protectionist Party and it was the only seat that See held. See became Premier when William Lyne moved to Federal Parliament in March 1901 and remained Premier until his retirement in June 1904, a few weeks before the 1904 election, when Grafton was merged with Clarence as part of the reduction in size of the Legislative Assembly after Federation.
