Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of the municipal boroughs, urban districts, and rural districts in Wales immediately prior to the coming into force of the Local Government Act 1972 in 1974. The number of districts gradually reduced from their creation in 1894 through consolidation.

Apart from these, Wales also had four county boroughs, Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Merthyr Tydfil.
