  History
  Tamworth was created in 1880 and it elected two members between 1891 and 1894.  In 1894, with the abolition of multi-member electorates, new electorates were established such as Quirindi, Bingara and Uralla-Walcha, and Tamworth became a single-member electorate.  Proportional representation was introduced in 1920 and Tamworth, along with Gwydir, was absorbed into Namoi.   In 1927 single-member electorates were re-established, including Tamworth.
