Burry Port Urban District

The Burry Port Urban District was an urban district in Carmarthenshire between 1903 and 1974, when it was absorbed into the District of Llanelli.

The first election was held in May 1903 after Carmarthenshire County Council agreed to establish new urban districts at Ammanford and Burry Port.[1]

John Henry Williams was a chairman of the council.
