Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox historic subdivision Dinefwr was one of six local government districts of the county of Dyfed, Wales from 1974 to 1996. It was named after Dinefwr Castle which in the Middle Ages had been the court of the House of Dinefwr and one of the three principal royal courts of Wales with Aberffraw and Shrewsbury.
History
The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, covering the area of five former districts from the administrative county of Carmarthenshire, which were abolished at the same time:[1][2]
- Ammanford Urban District
- Cwmamman Urban District
- Llandeilo Rural District
- Llandeilo Urban District
- Llandovery Municipal Borough
The district held borough status, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor.[3]
Dinefwr borough was abolished 22 years later under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, with the area becoming part of the new Carmarthenshire unitary authority on 1 April 1996.[4]
Political control
The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. Political control of the council from 1974 until the council's abolition in 1996 was held by the following parties:[5]
