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.

  • 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 . (ga)
