History

The district was formed from 53rd Infantry Division as part of the Territorial Army Volunteer Reserve in 1967. It had its headquarters at The Barracks, Brecon, and was placed under the command of HQ UK Land Forces in 1972. In 1991, the first of the minor districts to be amalgamated were North West District, the former West Midlands District and Wales, to form a new Wales and Western District.
