DIVISION OF WILMOT

The 'Division of Wilmot' was an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Tasmania. It was located in central Tasmania, and was named after Sir John Eardley-Wilmot, the sixth Lieutenant-Governor of Tasmania. At various times it included the towns of Deloraine, Beaconsfield, Devonport, Latrobe and New Norfolk.
The Division was proclaimed on October 2 1903, when Tasmania was first divided into Divisions, and was first contested at the 1903 Federal election. At the electoral redistribution of September 12, 1984, it was abolished and replaced by the Division of Lyons, in order to honour Joseph Lyons, the fourteenth Prime Minister of Australia, who held Wilmot from 1929-1939.
