The Borough of Ogwr was one of six districts of Mid Glamorgan in Wales, which existed from 1974 to 1996.

[3] In 1996 most of Ogwr became part of Bridgend County Borough, with the Vale of Glamorgan taking the communities of Wick, St Brides Major and Ewenny.

The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974.

When the council was created in 1974 it was initially based at new offices called the Municipal Buildings, which had been built as part of The Rhiw shopping centre on Queen Street in Bridgend.

[7] In 1986 it moved to a new building called the Civic Offices on Angel Street in Bridgend, on the banks of the river which gave the district its name.
