The district, located in the Great Southern area of the state, was one of the original 30 seats contested at the 1890 election. In 1900, the seat included a number of towns along the Great Southern Railway, including Broomehill, Tambellup, Cranbrook, Tenterden, Kendenup, and Mount Barker, as well as Kojonup, Denmark, and Jerramungup. It excluded Albany which had its own seat.[1] Plantagenet existed for four terms of parliament, electing the same member, Albert Hassell, on each occasion.
