It’s neat how the Westminster system countries name their seats instead of having numbered districts.
Aussies do it differently than the UK and Canada who base the names off geography. Aussie ones are named after famous people.
Yes, one of the history units I teach my students involves studying who these people were.
Some are still named after places rather than people, but not many. Geographic names cause problems where borders change (for example, the Division of Kooyong, which is one of Australia's most illustrious in terms of its history (it was held by Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies for 32 years, and then went to Andrew Peacock who was Leader of the Opposition, held it for another 28) no longer contains the actual suburb of Kooyong.)
