History
Nottingham was proclaimed in 1946, and first contested at the inaugural post-independence election in 1946. On its original boundaries, it covered most of eastern Miranda, stretching from south of Nottingham to the border with Sierra. Much of its territory has since been transferred to Mount Gilbert, Forrest and the now-abolished O'Malley (largely replaced by Sutherland). By the 1970s, successive redistributions cut back the seat to little more than the Nottingham metropolitan area, and since the 1990s it has only encompassed the city's inner suburbs.

Nottingham has been held by the Social Democratic Party continuously since 1958. Its most prominent members include Roy Bartley, an opposition frontbencher in the 1960s and later the SDP's candidate in the 1976 and 1982 presidential elections, and Hugh Dunford, a cabinet minister in the Thorpe, Vandenberg and Clarkson governments.
