Districts of Wales

Encyclopedia : D : DI : DIS : Districts of Wales

---

In 1974, Wales was re-divided for local government purposes into districts. Several districts made up an administrative county, of which there were 8. This system of two-tier local government was abolished in 1996 and replaced with the current system of unitary principal areas.

For the list of districts before 1974, see List of urban and rural districts in Wales.
