Stirling was first created for the
1950 state election. It was held at all times by the
National Party, or factions thereof, under their various guises. The district was abolished ahead of the
2008 state election as a result of the reduction in rural seats made necessary by the
one vote one value reforms. Its former territory was largely incorporated into the new district of
Blackwood-Stirling with parts also added to
Albany. Following Stirling's abolition, sitting National MP Terry Redman contested the seat of Blackwood-Stirling. ==Members for Stirling==
