Darlinghurst was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales. Named after and including Darlinghurst, it was created in the 1904 re-distribution of electorates following the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90.[1] It consisted of parts of Paddington and the abolished seats of Sydney-Fitzroy and Sydney-Bligh. It was abolished in 1920 with the introduction of proportional representation and was absorbed into the multi-member electorate of Sydney. It was briefly recreated in 1950 before being abolished in 1953.[2][3][4][5]
