History
The electorate was created in 1859, though preceded by the Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay electorate from 1853 to 1860.
From 1881 to 1887 Wairarapa was replaced by two electorates; Wairarapa North and Wairarapa South. From 1887, they were replaced by the Masterton and Wairarapa electorates.
Between 1899 and 1919 the Wairarapa electorate swung between Walter Clarke Buchanan the Conservative candidate and John Hornsby the Liberal candidate, changing hands in 1902, 1905, 1908 and 1914. Buchanan's support was in the rural areas, and Hornsby's was in the small towns.
