The electorate covers the provincial Warragul–Drouin urban area, as well as many smaller rural towns in north west Gippsland.
The electoral district of Narracan is named after Narracan, a rural locality located in the narrow Narracan Creek Valley, 14 km south of Moe. The word "narracan" is believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word describing a crow.[2]
