The county of Glamorgan existed for a number of centuries until April 1974. The organisation of local government on a local scale had developed over the years with borough councils, urban district councils and rural district councils. In 1974 the traditional Counties of Wales were re-organised and Glamorgan was split into three - West Glamorgan, Mid Glamorgan (which included Treherbert) and South Glamorgan.- Within each of these the lower level of local government was District Councils. In 1996 a further re-organisation into 22 'Unitary Authorities' saw the abolition both of the County and District Councils. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Government_(Wales)_Act_1994 gives a lot of detail about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preserved_counties_of_Wales refers to the counties which existed from 1974 to 1996 and which still exist ( with slight alterations) for some ceremonial purposes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_counties_of_Wales describes the evolution of the 'historic counties' including Glamorgan.
