South Pembrokeshire Information
South Pembrokeshire (Welsh: De Sir Benfro) was one of six local government districts of Dyfed, Wales from 1974 to 1996.
It was formed on April 1, 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, from the following parts of the administrative county of Pembrokeshire:
- The municipal boroughs of Pembroke and Tenby,
- The urban district of Narberth and
- The rural districts of Narberth and Pembroke.
The map shows the district as defined above. However, in 1981, the communities of Bletherston, Clarbeston, Llandeilo Llwydarth, Llandissilio West, Llangolman, Llanycefn, Llys-y-fran, Maenclochog, Mynachlog-ddu, New Moat and Vorlan were transferred to Preseli district.
It was abolished on April 1, 1996, merging with its neighbouring district of Preseli Pembrokeshire to form a reconstituted Pembrokeshire unitary authority.
