1894 Aberdare Urban District Council election


The first election to the Aberdare Urban District Council was held in December 1894. It was followed by the 1896 election.
There were five wards, namely Aberaman, Blaengwawr, Gadlys, Llwydcoed, and the Town Ward. Three members were elected from each ward making a total of fifteen members on the authority. In subsequent elections a third of the council would be elected each year. Therefore, the members returned at the head of the poll would serve until 1898, those in second place until 1897 and those in third place until 1896. Rhys Hopkin Rhys, chair of the previous Local Board of Health became the first chairman of the Urban District Council.
