Шаблон:NZelectorateShortDesc Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use New Zealand English Cheviot was a parliamentary electorate in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, from 1858 to 1890. It was named after what was then one of the country's largest sheep stations, Cheviot Hills.
Population centres
The initial 24 New Zealand electorates were defined by Governor George Grey in March 1853, based on the New Zealand Constitution Act 1852 that had been passed by the British government. The Constitution Act also allowed the House of Representatives to establish new electorates, and this was first done in 1858, when four new electorates were formed by splitting existing electorates.Шаблон:Sfn Cheviot was one of those four electorates, and it was established in areas that previously belonged to the Шаблон:NZ electorate link and Шаблон:NZ electorate link electorates.Шаблон:Sfn
The Cheviot electorate was entirely rural. The returning officer, George Leslie Lee, decided on two polling stations for the first election in December 1859, and they were both sheep stations of runholders: Robinson's station Cheviot Hills, and Mason's Old Station at Waituhi Creek.[1]
History
The first election in the Cheviot electorate was held on 18 December 1859, which was partway through the term of the 2nd New Zealand Parliament. Edward Jollie was the first representative.Шаблон:Sfn Charles Hunter Brown announced his candidacy for the 1 March 1861 election long before the election date was set. Frederick Weld was narrowly defeated in the 15 February 1861 election in the Шаблон:NZ electorate link electorate and subsequently became a candidate in Cheviot, where he defeated Brown.[2] In the 1866 election, David Monro was declared elected unopposed.[3]
