'Wrexham Maelor' was one of six
local government districts of
Clwyd,
North Wales, from
1974 to
1996.
It was formed from parts of the
administrative counties of
Denbighshire and
Flintshire.
From Denbighshire came the
municipal borough of
Wrexham and
Wrexham Rural District (less the
parishes of
Llangollen Rural and
Llantysilio). From Flintshire came
Maelor Rural District and the parish of
Marford and
Hoseley from
Hawarden Rural District. The Flintshire areas had been
exclaves, separated from the rest of the county by Denbighshire.
The district was abolished in
1996, with its area forming the bulk of the
county borough of Wrexham.
