Nel 1974 il Galles fu ri-diviso per scopi di amministrazione locale in 37 distretti . Ogni contea amministrativa (vedi Contee preservate del Galles ) era composta da alcuni distretti. Dal 1996 i distretti sono confluiti nelle aree principali .
Per i distretti prima del 1974 , vedi Lista di distretti urbani e rurali del Galles .
