History
The Hutt seat previously existed from 1853 to 1870, and then from 1879 to 1893.
In 1902 the seat was recreated and was won by the Liberal leader Thomas Mason Wilford.
He resigned in 1929, and the ensuing by-election was won by Walter Nash. Nash became Minister of Finance and Prime Minister, and retired in 1968. The seat was then held by Trevor Young, also for Labour.
When the seat was split into Eastern Hutt and Western Hutt in 1978, Young won the new Eastern Hutt seat for Labour.
