Population centres
Ellesmere was a rural electorate, with the locality Ellesmere having given it its name. It was created in the 1860 Electoral Redistribution and was used in its initial form for the 1861 election.Шаблон:Sfn It was located on Banks Peninsula and included Sumner, Ferrymead, settlements around Lyttelton Harbour excluding Lyttelton itself (which had its own electorate). On the peninsula, its boundary with Шаблон:NZ electorate link was east of Port Levy. In the south-west, it bordered Lake Ellesmere / Te Waihora but surprisingly, the lake that gave the electorate its name was not included in the electorate, but belonged to Шаблон:NZ electorate link.Шаблон:Sfn
The electorate was abolished between 1866 and 1890. In December 1887, the House of Representatives voted to reduce its membership from general electorates from 91 to 70. The 1890 electoral redistribution used the same 1886 census data used for the 1887 electoral redistribution. In addition, three-member electorates were introduced in the four main centres. This resulted in a major restructuring of electorates, and Ellesmere was one of eight electorates to be re-created for the 1890 election.Шаблон:Sfn It covered an entirely different area than before, and it was placed between the Шаблон:NZ electorate link and Шаблон:NZ electorate link electorates, thus pushing them apart. In the east, it covered most of Lake Ellesmere, but excluded Kaitorete Spit. In the west, it stopped short of the Ashburton River and did not include Ashburton itself. It went as far inland as the headwaters of the Rakaia River. Southbridge, Rakaia, Leeston, and Methven fell into the electorate.Шаблон:Sfn
The 1892 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect with the Шаблон:NZ election link, changed the shape of the Ellesmere electorate dramatically. It replaced the Akaroa electorate and thus covered all of Banks Peninsula including the town of Akaroa, plus the settlements of Governors Bay and Rapaki. A small area of land around Lake Ellesmere also belonged to the electorate, and this now included Kaitorete Spit. Southbridge and Leeston remained in the electorate (just), but all the hinterland (including Rakaia and Methven) was lost to the Selwyn and Ashburton electorates.Шаблон:Sfn
The 1896 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect that year, established the electorate's area for the next six years. Boundary changes were slight, with the southern settlements along Lyttelton Harbour going to the Lyttelton electorate.Шаблон:Sfn The 1902 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect that year, established the electorate's area until 1908. Boundary changes were again minimal, with the electorate regaining the southern settlements along Lyttelton Harbour.Шаблон:Sfn
The 1907 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect in Шаблон:NZ election link, changed the boundaries more significantly. The Lyttelton electorate took some area of the peninsula, and Port Levy went to that electorate. The neighbouring Шаблон:NZ electorate link electorate was abolished and replaced with Шаблон:NZ electorate link, with Ellesmere's boundary shifting north-west to the South Island Main Trunk Railway, and the town of Lincoln was gained.Шаблон:Sfn
Through the 1911 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect with the Шаблон:NZ election link, the Lyttelton electorate expanded further onto Banks Peninsula and took its northern half. This lost settlements like Pigeon Bay and Okains Bay.Шаблон:Sfn
The 1918 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect in Шаблон:NZ election link, saw a complete adjustment of the electorate's boundaries. Three quarters of Banks Peninsula, including the town of Akaroa, were now covered by the Lyttelton electorate. The Ellesmere electorate went across the Main South railway and extended all the way to the boundary between Canterbury and the West Coast, with Arthur's Pass and Harper's Pass located on that boundary. This brought many small communities on the Canterbury Plains into the electorate, including Springfield, plus settlement in the Southern Alps like Arthur's Pass and Cass.Шаблон:Sfn
The 1922 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect that year, established the electorate's area for its final six years. Near the coast, the boundary shifted south and Rakaia was gained again. In the Canterbury hinterland, the boundaries were redrawn completely and the electorate moved south significantly, losing area to Шаблон:NZ electorate link in the north and gaining significantly from the Ashburton electorate. In its final shape, the inland part of the electorate was centred on the Rakaia River. Lake Coleridge was for the first time within the electorate, and Methven was gained again.Шаблон:Sfn The 1927 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect with the Шаблон:NZ election link, saw the Ellesmere electorate abolished and replaced with the Mid-Canterbury electorate.Шаблон:Sfn
History
Ellesmere was first established for the 1861 election.Шаблон:Sfn At the next election in 1866, it was replaced with the Mount Herbert electorate. It was re-established for the 1890 election and existed until 1928.Шаблон:Sfn
Thomas Rowley[1] was elected unopposed on 25 January 1861.[2] He resigned on 25 April 1862.Шаблон:Sfn James FitzGerald won the resulting by-election until the electorate was abolished in 1866; FitzGerald successfully stood in Шаблон:NZ electorate link instead.Шаблон:Sfn[3]
John Hall, who had previously represented the Selwyn electorate, won the Шаблон:NZ election link against John McLachlan.[4] These were to be Hall's final three years in Parliament before he retired, during which he achieved his "last political triumph" of successful parliamentary leadership of the women's suffrage campaign.[5]
William Rolleston and William Montgomery contested the Шаблон:NZ election link. It was won by Montgomery for the Liberal Party,[6] whose father, William Montgomery Sr., had previously represented the Akaroa electorate,[7] and constituted Rolleston's second parliamentary defeat since he had first been elected in Шаблон:By-election link year.[8] In Шаблон:NZ election link year, Montgomery was challenged by Frederick Arthur Anson, a sheep farmer from Peraki standing for the opposition.[9]
Montgomery was defeated in the Шаблон:NZ election link by the exceptionally wealthy former lawyer and now farmer Heaton Rhodes, who was living in his 40-room mansion Otahuna on Banks Peninsula. Rhodes, a conservative politician who joined the Reform Party, was to hold the electorate until 1925, when he retired on medical advice, only to be promptly appointed to the Legislative Council.[10]Шаблон:Sfn
