The Federal Division of Wentworth is a foundation division of the Australian Parliament, created at the Federation of the Australian Colonies as the Commonwealth of Australia. It was proclaimed in 1900 and was one of the original 75 divisions contested at the first federal election. The Division is named after William Charles Wentworth (1790-1872), a noted Australian explorer and statesman. In 1813 he accompanied Blaxland and Lawson on their crossing of the Blue Mountains. It is one of only two original divisions, along with North Sydney, which have never been held by the ALP, though Jessie Street came close in the 1943 election. It was considered a blue-ribbon Liberal seat, and according the census, has the highest per-capita income of all seats in Australia. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
