The Electoral district of Maryborough and Talbot was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 1877.[1] [2]

The 1876 Electoral Act Amendment Act (taking effect at the 1877 elections) defined the district as:

Commencing at the junction of the Green Gully with the River Loddon ; thence by that gully upwards to the southern boundary of allotment 60 of section 1 parish of Campbelltown ; thence westerly by a road to the south-west angle of the township of Campbelltown and by a line bearing west to the eastern boundary of portion 40 parish of Glengower ; thence south to the south-east angle of that allotment; thence by a line bearing west to the Deep Creek ; thence by that creek upwards to the southern boundary of the parish of Eglinton ; thence westerly by that boundary to the north-east angle of allotment 108 parish of Beckworth ; thence by roads bearing respectively south to the south-east angle of allotment 86, west to the north-west angle of allotment 57, south to the south-west angle of allotment 24 parish of Addington, east to the north-east angle of allotment 33, and south to the Main Dividing Range ; thence north-westerly by that range to the source of the Bet Bet Creek ; thence by that creek downwards to its junction with the River Loddon ; and thence by that river upwards to the commencing point.[2]

The 1888 Electoral Amendment Act abolished Maryborough and Talbot (taking effect at the 1889 elections) and split it into Maryborough and Talbot and Avoca.[3] [4]
