The Electoral district of Portland (also known as Town of Portland) was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council (Australia).[1]
From 1851 to 1856, this was a district of the unicameral Victorian Legislative Council; initially with one member and two from the enlarged council of 1853.[2] It centred on the town of Portland, Victoria.
In 1856 the Electoral district of Portland (an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Assembly) was created.[2]
