The subdivisions of Wales constitute a hierarchy of administrative divisions and non-administrative ceremonial areas.
For the purposes of local government, the country is divided into principal areas, of either counties or county boroughs, and communities. The current system is the result of incremental reform which has its origins in legislation enacted in 1972 and 1994.
