Montgomeryshire, also known as Maldwyn (Welsh: Sir Drefaldwyn) is one of thirteen historic counties and a former administrative county of Wales. It is named after its county town, Montgomery, which in turn is named after one of William the Conqueror's main counsellors, Roger de Montgomerie, who was the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury. Montgomeryshire today constitutes the northern part of the principal area of Powys. The population of Montgomeryshire was 59,474 according to the 2001 census.[2]

History Montgomeryshire is the birthplace of Saint Richard Gwyn; it is where the Treaty of Montgomery was signed 29 September 1267. In terms of historic counties, Montgomeryshire is bounded to the north by Denbighshire, to the east and south east by Shropshire (an English county), to the south by Radnorshire, to the south west by Cardiganshire and to the west and north west by Merionethshire. It was formed under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542. Its cantrefi included: Cyfeiliog Arwystli Mawddwy Mochnant Deuddwy Ystrad Marchell Gorddwr It also included the Lordships of Cydewain and Mechain. The borders of Montgomeryshire correspond roughly to the medieval kingdom of Powys Wenwynwyn. [edit] Local government From 1889 to 1974 the county became an administrative county with a county council. Montgomery, the traditional county town, shared administrative functions with Machynlleth, on the other side of the county. Local government reforms in 1974 combined the administrative areas of Montgomeryshire, Radnorshire and Breconshire together to form a new administrative Powys county. Montgomeryshire became a district of Powys, with its administrative headquarters in Newtown (and not Montgomery). Further local government reform in 1996 abolished district councils in Wales, making Powys a unitary authority. The Montgomeryshire area continues to have an administrative/political function as one of the three committee areas used by Powys Council, along with the other two historic counties (Radnorshire and Breconshire). These three areas are often referred to by the County Council as "shires". The few communities that were added to northern Powys in 1996 (which come within the historic boundaries of Denbighshire) now form part of the modern-day Montgomeryshire area.
