  • Rhondda Urban District Council was a local authority in Glamorgan, Wales. It was created in 1894 as a result of the 1894 Local Government of England and Wales Act and the saw the election of the first members of the authority, initially known as the Ystradyfodwg Urban District Council. The Council existed until 1973 and replaced the Ystradyfodwg Local Board of Health which had functioned since the 1870s. . Initially, the Council had fifteen members but this was increased to twenty in 1906, as a result of the increase in population. There were five wards. The first councillors were elected at the 1894 election. From the outset there was a strong representation on the Council of middle-class nonconformist liberals, who were typical of the new elite who rose to prominence in Wales in the late-Victorian and Edwardian periods. Following the inaugural elections there were comparatively few contests during the next few years. In the years leading up to the First World War, representatives of the Labour Party began to gain ground. In 1974 the authority was abolished, and replaced by the which, in turn, was subsumed into the unitary authority of Rhondda Cynon Taf in 1996. (en)
