The Aberdare Urban District Council was established in 1894 and covered the parish of Aberdare.
Its responsibilities included public health, sanitation, roads and public works generally.
Originally, one member was elected from each ward on an annual basis, but from 1904 an additional member was granted to each ward, resulting in the election of ten members, out of a total of twenty, every three years.
An election was held in March 1907.
