History
Normanby was created by the Electoral Districts Act in 1872 as a single-member seat, stretching from the coastal area around St Lawrence, west towards Clermont. Over the years of redistributions, Normanby became an inland electorate to the west of Rockhampton. Normanby was abolished in the 1949 redistribution which split it across the Electoral district of Mackenzie, the Electoral district of Keppel, and the Electoral district of Callide.[1]
