East Moreton was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales created for the July 1859 election, partly replacing Stanley County in the Moreton Bay region around Brisbane. It was abolished in December 1859, as a result of the Separation of Queensland.[1][2][3]
