Administrative / Biographical History
Barry was incorporated as a municipal borough by royal charter in September 1939.

The area covered by the borough comprised the civil parishes of Barry, Cadoxton-juxta-Barry, Merthyr Dyfan and parts of Penmark, Porthkerry and Sully. The borough was abolished in 1974 and its functions taken over by the Vale of Glamorgan District Council and South Glamorgan County Council.
