The Division was proclaimed at the redistribution of May 11, 1949, and was first contested at the 1949 Federal election. It was named after Charles La Trobe, the first Lieutenant-Governor of Victoria. The Division is currently a marginal Liberal seat. The first person to hold the seat was Richard Casey, Baron Casey, later the sixteenth Governor-General of Australia and the last of three Australian politicians to be elevated to the British House of Lords. The Division of Casey, which borders this Division to the north, is named after him.
