It existed three times. Originally it was the '''Town of Christchurch''' from 1853 to 1860. From the [[1860–1861 New Zealand general election|1860–1861 election]] to the [[1871 New Zealand general election|1871 election]], it existed as '''City of Christchurch'''. It then existed from the [[1875–1876 New Zealand general election|1875–1876 election]] until the [[1881 New Zealand general election|1881 election]]. The last period was from the [[1890 New Zealand general election|1890 election]] to the [[1905 New Zealand general election|1905 election]]. Since the [[1946 New Zealand general election|1946 election]], a similarly named electorate called [[Christchurch Central]] has been in existence. The historic electorate was represented by 21 members of parliament. For some of the time, it was represented by one member at a time. During other periods, it was one of the few three-member electorates in New Zealand. ==Population centres== In December 1887, the [[New Zealand House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] voted to reduce its membership from general electorates from 91 to 70. The 1890 electoral redistribution used the same 1886 census data used for the 1887 electoral redistribution. In addition, three-member electorates were introduced in the four main centres. This resulted in a major restructuring of electorates, and Christchurch was one of eight electorates to be re-created for the 1890 election.{{sfn|McRobie|1989|pp=54ff}} The electorate included [[Christchurch Central City|Christchurch City]], [[Hagley Park, Christchurch|Hagley Park]], the boroughs of Sydenham and St Albans, and parts of the Linwood borough.<ref>{{cite news |title=The Bye-Election |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=CHP19010629.2.77 |access-date=23 April 2016 |work=[[The Press]] |volume=LVIII |issue=11004 |date=29 June 1901 |page=10}}</ref> ==History== ===1853 to 1871=== The nomination meeting for the first election was held on 16 August 1853 at the Christchurch Land Office, together with the nomination meeting for the [[Christchurch Country]] electorate.
