Morwell was created in 1955, taking in the coal-mining and industrial towns of the Latrobe Valley. The Liberal Party held it for its first 15 years, but it fell to Labor in 1970 and Labor then held it until 2006. Since then, the deindustrialisation of the Valley and various local issues have weakened Labor's position. The 2021 redistricting gave the seat a notional Labor majority, but it was retained by the Nationals. Recent members: Val Callister (Labor) 1981-88, Keith Hamilton (Labor) 1988-2002, Brendan Jenkins (Labor) 2002-06, Russell Northe (Nationals) 2006-22, Martin Cameron (Nationals) from 2022.
