The district was created by the Local Government Act 1972 from the following parts of the administrative county of Monmouthshire: *The municipal boroughs of Abergavenny and Monmouth, *The urban districts of Chepstow and Usk *The rural districts of Abergavenny, Chepstow, Monmouth and part of Pontypool Rural District. The headquarters of the district council was Mamhilad House, Pontypool. This had previously been the administrative centre of Pontypool Rural District, and was in the neighbouring district of Torfaen. The borough was abolished in 1996 by the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, with the area forming nearly all of the new principal area of Monmouthshire (along with Llanelly from Blaenau Gwent). The Parliamentary consitiuency of Monmouth covers roughly the same area. Category:Gwent Category:Former subdivisions of Wales Category:Districts of Wales abolished in 1996 |
