Southern Province (also known as South Province)[1] was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council.[2][3]
Southern Province was created in 1856, after the colony of Victoria obtained self-government. It was one of the six original Legislative Council provinces of the newly established bicameral Victorian Parliament.[1][2] Southern Province was finally abolished in 1970, after Boronia Province and Templestowe Province were created in 1967.[3]
