History
South Cheshire, or the Southern Division of Cheshire, was created as a two-member constituency under the Representation of the People Act 1832 (Great Reform Act) as one of 2 divisions, along with North Cheshire, of the Parliamentary County of Cheshire. It comprised the Hundreds of Broxton, Eddisbury, Nantwich, Northwich and Wirral, and the City and County of the City of Chester.[1]
Under the Reform Act 1867,[2] Cheshire was further divided with the creation of Mid Cheshire, to which the Northwich Hundred was transferred. South Cheshire was renamed West Cheshire by the Boundaries Act 1868.[3]
