About the Maylands Electorate

Number of Electors: 25,851 (9 March 2015)
Western Australian Electoral Commission. State Electorate Information.

Nomenclature:
The suburb of Maylands was developed in the 1890s around the railway line built through the area in the 1880s. The origin of the name is uncertain, but two possibilities have been suggested. One possible origin is that the name relates to the purchase of the land in the month of May by Mr E.W. Hamer, the other origin is that it was named by Mr Mephan Ferguson after his daughter, May. Ferguson ran an early business in the area.
