Gwent is a preserved county and a
former local government county in south-east Wales. It was formed on
1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, and was named
after the ancient Kingdom of Gwent.
It consisted of most of the former administrative county of
Monmouthshire and the county borough of Newport, along with Brynmawr
and Llanelly from Brecknockshire. Under the Local Government (Wales)
Act 1994 it was abolished on 1 April 1996.
The name however remains as one of the preserved counties of Wales
used for certain ceremonial purposes, and it also survives in
various titles, e.g., Gwent Police, Royal Gwent Hospital, Coleg
Gwent college and the Newport Gwent Dragons rugby team.
When it existed, the administrative area was divided into several
districts: Blaenau Gwent, Islwyn, Monmouth, Newport and Torfaen.
The successor unitary authorities are:
City of Newport
Blaenau Gwent county borough
Torfaen county borough
Caerphilly county borough (part of which came from Mid Glamorgan)
Monmouthshire (which covers the eastern half of the traditional
county of the same name)
In 2003 the preserved county of Gwent expanded to cover the whole of
Caerphilly county borough.[1]
The Preserved counties of Wales are the current areas used in Wales
for ceremonial purposes such as Lieutenancy. They are based on the
counties created by the Local Government Act 1972 and used for local
government and other purposes between 1974 and 1996.

The Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 abolished the eight ceremonial
counties created by the Local Government Act 1972. However, it
created the concept of preserved counties based on their areas, to
be used for purposes such as Lieutenancy. In addition to this
ceremonial function, the Boundary Commission must avoid crossing
preserved county borders when drawing up Parliamentary
constituencies, where practicable.
The preserved counties were originally almost identical to the
1974–1996 counties, but with a few minor changes intended to ensure
preserved counties were composed of whole principal areas. Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochant, Llansilin and Llangedwyn were transferred
from Clwyd to Powys, and Wick, St Brides Major, Ewenny and Pentyrch
were transferred from Mid Glamorgan to South Glamorgan. However,
these changes still left two county boroughs, Conwy and Caerphilly
split between preserved counties.
In order to rectify this, the National Assembly for Wales made two
changes of substance to the boundaries. These changes came into
effect on April 2, 2003. The part of the local government area of
Conwy which had been in Gwynedd was transferred to Clwyd, and the
part of the local government area of Caerphilly which had been in
Mid Glamorgan was transferred to Gwent. The boundary between Mid
Glamorgan and South Glamorgan was also re-aligned to reflect small
changes in local government boundaries. Each preserved county now
encompasses between one and five whole local government areas.
Clwyd - Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham
Dyfed - Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire
Gwent - Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Torfaen, Monmouthshire, Newport
Gwynedd - Anglesey, Gwynedd
Mid Glamorgan - Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taff
Powys - Powys
South Glamorgan - Cardiff, Vale of Glamorgan
West Glamorgan - Neath Port Talbot, Swansea
