Rhondda Cynon Taff (Rhondda Cynon Tâf) is a county borough in Glamorgan, south Wales. The district borders Merthyr Tydfil and Caerphilly to the east, Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan to the south, Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot to the west and Powys to the north. Its main towns are Aberdare, Mountain Ash and Pontypridd. It also is one of the most impoverished areas of the UK. The county borough was formed on April 1, 1996, by the merger of the former Mid Glamorgan districts of Cynon Valley, Rhondda and Taff-Ely apart from Pentyrch, which was added to Cardiff. Its name reflects all these, and the rivers Cynon, Rhondda and Taff.
