It was based on the County of Grant and was bound by the "Werribee River from its mouth to its source in the great dividing range ... Yarrowee River on the west and south-west ... Barwon River ... Salt Creek to the sea coast north of Point Roadknight on the south by the sea coast ... to the mouth of the Werribee River ..."[1] (Excluding the town of Geelong).

From 1856, the Parliament of Victoria consisted of two houses, the Victorian Legislative Council (upper house, consisting of Provinces) and the Victorian Legislative Assembly (lower house).[2]
