State Electoral District - Chaffey
The electorate takes its name from the Chaffey Brothers, George and Ben, Canadian engineers who were instrumental in helping establish the first South Australian irrigation settlements in Renmark in 1887.
The district was created at the 1936 redistribution of boundaries. It covers approx. 14,861.0 square kms, and is situated in the rural hinterland to the east of the State, with the New South Wales and Victorian State borders forming the eastern boundary. The 1998 electoral boundaries redistribution made some minor alterations to the southern boundary.
