History
Tweed was first created with the end of multi-member districts in 1894. In 1904, it was abolished with the reduction in the size of the Legislative Assembly, after Federation. The region was part of Richmond from 1904 to 1913, Byron from 1913 until 1988 when the district was renamed Murwillumbah. In 1999 the district was renamed Tweed.{{Cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/nsw/2019/guide/twee |title=Tweed- NSW Electorate, Candidates, Results |work=NSW Votes 2019 |publisher=ABC News |language=en-AU|access-date=24 November 2019}}
