District of Radnorshire
Radnorshire was one of three districts of the county of Powys, Wales, from 1974 - 1996. The district had an identical area to the previous administrative county of Radnorshire.
The district was formed as Radnor on 1 April 1974 as part of a general reorganisation of local government in England and Wales under the Local Government Act 1972. The new district replaced eight local authorities:
On 8 May 1989 the district was renamed Radnorshire by resolution of the district council.
On 1 April 1996 the two-tier system of councils introduced in Wales in 1974 was replaced, and the country was divided into twenty-two counties and county boroughs by the Local Government Act 1994. Accordingly, the district was abolished, with its area passing to the county of Powys.
