District of Monmouth
Former district of Gwent, Wales / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monmouth District (Welsh: Trefynwy) was one of five local government districts in the county of Gwent in Wales between 1974 and 1996. In 1988 the district was granted a charter conferring borough status, becoming the Borough of Monmouth (not to be confused with the pre-1974 municipal borough of Monmouth, which just covered the town itself).
