Pyrmont was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales that was created in the 1904 re-distribution of electorates following the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90.[1] It consisted of the abolished seat of Sydney-Pyrmont and part of the abolished seat of Sydney-Denison and included the Sydney suburb of Pyrmont.[2][3][4] It was abolished in 1913 and the district re-distributed to Belmore, Darling Harbour and Phillip.[5]
