In Wales, as in England and Northern Ireland, a town is any settlement which has received a charter of incorporation, more commonly known as a town charter, approved by the monarch. Fifty-five boroughs in Wales were given parliamentary representation in 1536, but the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 recognised only 20 Welsh boroughs. Subsequent urban growth led to the designation of other places as boroughs, including Wrexham, Rhondda, Barry and Merthyr Tydfil, but many other settlements were only granted the status of urban district. The Local Government Act 1972 allows civil parishes in England and Wales to resolve themselves to be town councils.

  • In Wales, as in England and Northern Ireland, a town is any settlement which has received a charter of incorporation, more commonly known as a town charter, approved by the monarch. Fifty-five boroughs in Wales were given parliamentary representation in 1536, but the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 recognised only 20 Welsh boroughs. Subsequent urban growth led to the designation of other places as boroughs, including Wrexham, Rhondda, Barry and Merthyr Tydfil, but many other settlements were only granted the status of urban district. The Local Government Act 1972 allows civil parishes in England and Wales to resolve themselves to be town councils. Cities are also listed (in bold). Until the 16th century, a town was recognised as a city if it had a diocesan cathedral within its limits. The city of St Davids, with a population of about 2,000, received its city status in this way. St Asaph acquired city status in 2012 as part of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. (en)
  • Is liosta bailte na Breataine Bige é seo, le 146 san iomlán. Sa Bhreatain Bheag, mar atá i Sasana agus i dTuaisceart Éireann, is baile é aon lonnaíocht a fuair cairt ionchorpraithe, ar a dtugtar cairt baile de ghnáth, arna cheadú ag an monarc. Tugadh ionadaíocht pharlaiminte do 55 buirg sa Bhreatain Bheag sa bhliain 1536, ach níor aithníodh san Municipal Corporations Act 1835 ach 20 buirg sa Bhreatain Bheag. Mar thoradh ar fhás uirbeach ina dhiaidh sin ainmníodh áiteanna eile mar bhuirgí, lena n-áirítear Wrecsam, Y Rhondda,Y Barri agus Merthyr Tudful, ach níor bronnadh stádas ceantair uirbeach ar go leor lonnaíochtaí eile . Ceadaíonn an Local Government Act 1972 do pharóistí sibhialta i Sasana agus sa Bhreatain Bheag iad féin a réiteach mar chomhairlí baile . Liostaítear cathracha freisin (i gcló trom) . Go dtí an 16ú haois, aithníodh baile mar chathair dá mbeadh ardeaglais deoise laistigh dá teorainneacha. Fuair cathair Tyddewi, le daonra de thart ar 2,000, stádas cathrach ar an mbealach seo. Bhain Llanelwy stádas cathrach amach in 2012 mar chuid d’ Iubhaile Diamant na Banríona Eilís II . Tá na logainmneacha in ord aibítre, gan neamhaird a dhéanamh ar shnáithíní agus spásanna idir focail. Má thosaíonn an t-ainm leis an alt, déanfar neamhaird de sin. Tá na cathracha le feiceáil i gcló trom. (ga)
