History
The reorganisation of local government in 1974 saw the end in Wales of Parish Councils and the emergence of new bodies – Community Councils. The Local Government Act, 1972, which was responsible for this re-organisation, also provided Community Councils with the option of resolving to become Town Councils, with the Chairperson being entitled to the status of Town Mayor. At the first meeting of the newly constituted Caerwys Community Council held on the 9th April, 1974, the Council unanimously resolved to opt for the title of Town Council, with its Chairperson being styled as Town Mayor. At this meeting it was further unanimously agreed to appoint Councillor Elwyn Vaughan Parry, a lifelong resident of the town – to be elected Caerwys’ first Mayor.
