Following the reorganisation of 1996, the Unitary Authority of Caerphilly was formed from west part of the administrative county of Gwent (ie the west part of the traditional county of Monmouthshire) and the east part of Mid Glamorgan (ie the east part of the traditional county of Glamorgan).
Gwent and Mid Glamorgan were themselves only formed during the 1974 administrative reorganisation, the former being roughly the area of the traditional county of Monmouthshire, the latter being a sub-division of the traditional county of Glamorgam, both of which date back to the middle ages.
Locations in this section are within the part of the current Unitary Authority of Caerphilly that previously formed part of Gwent/Monmouthshire, and specimens from these locatins may be labelled as Caerphilly, Gwent or Monmouthshire depending upon period that they were collected.
Other locations in the the part of the Unitary Authority of Caerphilly that previously formed part of Mid Glamorgan/Glamorgam are listed in that section.
