The Division of Solomon is an Australian Electoral Division in the Northern Territory. It covers the cities of Darwin (including the surrounding suburbs) and Palmerston.[1] The only other division in the territory, the Division of Lingiari, covers the remainder of the territory.
The division was created in 2000. It is named for Vaiben Solomon, a Premier of South Australia, and member of the first Australian Parliament.[1] He represented the Northern Territory in the South Australian House of Assembly, when it was still part of that state.
