It's not the first time it's been held in the town - it was there in 1913 - but it is the first time it's been held in Monmouthshire.Confused? Monmouthshire was brought under English forms of legal jurisdiction and given two MPs (the English model) rather than one, as was the case in the rest of Wales.From that point on until the Local Government Act of 1972 which created the unambiguously Welsh county of Gwent, Monmouthshire's national status was a matter of dispute. Residents of the area were as entitled as anyone else in Wales to vote in the 1979 devolution referendum (like most, they voted 'No') and since 1999 the area has been subject to devolved government. This led to the area becoming highly industrialised with Monmouthshire's Welsh status was ambiguous between the 16th and 20th centuries, with it considered by some to be part of The "county or shire of Monmouth" was formed from parts of the The Act also designated Monmouth as the "Head and Shire town of the said county or shire of Monmouth", and ordered that the New forms of local government were established in the urban areas of the county with the setting of In 1899 Abergavenny was incorporated as a borough.
