Monmouthshire is a county in south-east Wales. The call derives from the historic county of Monmouthshire of which it covers the japanese area. The biggest town is Abergavenny. Other cities and huge villages are Caldicot, Chepstow, Monmouth, Magor and Usk. It borders Torfaen and Newport to the west; Herefordshire and Gloucestershire to the east; and Powys to the north.
The historical county of Monmouthshire turned into shaped from the Welsh Marches through the Laws in Wales Act 1535 and bordered Gloucestershire to the east, Herefordshire to the northeast, Brecknockshire to the north, and Glamorgan to the west.
The Laws in Wales Act 1542 again enumerated the counties of Wales and disregarded Monmouthshire, implying that the county become now not to be handled as part of Wales. However, for all purposes Wales had grow to be part of the Kingdom of England, and the difference had little sensible effect. For numerous centuries, acts of the Parliament of England often cited "Wales and Monmouthshire". However, the Local Government Act 1972, which came into effect in April 1974, showed the county as part of Wales, with the administrative county of Monmouthshire and its associated lieutenancy being abolished.
Most of its region was transferred to a brand new local government and ceremonial county known as Gwent, with the equal japanese and southern obstacles as the historical county, the River Wye and the Severn Estuary. The western -fifths of the previous Monmouthshire are now administered by different Welsh unitary authorities: Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen, Caerphilly, and Newport.
