Mountain Ash Urban District

Mountain Ash Urban District was a local authority in Mountain Ash, in the Cynon Valley, Glamorgan, Wales. It was created in 1894 as a result of the 1894 Local Government of England and Wales Act. The council replaced the Mountain Ash Local Board of Health which had been established in 1867. Initially, the Council had fifteen members, but this was increased to eighteen in 1898. The council was based at Mountain Ash Town Hall. The urban district was abolished in 1974, becoming part of the borough of Cynon Valley, which was in turn abolished in 1996 to become part of Rhondda Cynon Taf.
