Bangor's council was created in 1883 by royal charter. In 1974 it became City of Bangor Council, after Bangor had been granted city status, though many of its previous powers were passed to Arfon Borough Council (1974–1996) [1] and the new Gwynedd Council, based in Caernarfon.
The ward covers the centre of the city including the High Street and Bangor Cathedral (dedicated to St Deiniol). It is bounded to the northwest by the A5 road, to the northeast by Maes-y-Dref and to the southwest by the railway.
