Rylstone was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, named after and including the town of Rylstone.[1][2][3][4] The district was created when multi-member constituencies were abolished in 1894,[5] and comprised the eastern part of Mudgee and the western part of The Upper Hunter.[6] The district was abolished in 1904 as a result of the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which reduced the number of members of the Legislative Assembly from 125 to 90,[7] and was divided between Hartley, Singleton and the Upper Hunter.
