Molong was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, created in 1880 and named after and including Molong.[1][2][3] 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,[4] and the district was divided between the districts of Ashburnham, Belubula and Orange.[5]
