Ogmore and Garw Urban District Council was a local authority in Glamorgan, Wales. It was created in 1894 as a result of the 1894 Local Government of England and Wales Act and the Ogmore and Garw UDC election, 1894 saw the election of the first members of the authority. The Council existed until 1973 and replaced the Ogmore and Garw Local Board of Health which had functioned for some years. Its boundaries were set in 1894. Initially, the Council had twelve members but this was increased some years later, as a result of the increase in population. There were two wards, namely Garw Valley and Ogmore Valley. The first councillors were elected at the 1894 elections. Most of the first members of the authority had served on the Local Board]]. In the years leading up to the First World War, representatives of the Labour Party began to gain ground. In 1974 the authority was abolished, and together with the former urban districts of Bridgend and Porthcawl and some outlying areas, formed the [Ogmore Borough Council] which, in turn, was subsumed into the unitary authority of Bridgend in 1996.
