The Division of Hume is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of New South Wales. The Division is located in the central part of the state, just north of the Australian Capital Territory. It encompasses the city of Goulburn, and towns such as Bowral, Yass and Warragamba. The Division covers a predominantly rural area, with agriculture and coal mining the main industries. The Division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 75 divisions to be contested at the first Federal election. The Division was named after Hamilton Hume, one of the first Europeans to travel through the area. The seat is currently a safe Liberal seat.
