MOUNTAIN ASH , an urban
district
  of Glamorganshire,
south
  Wales, in the Aberdare valley on the Cynon, a west bank tributary of the Taff, with stations on the Taff Vale and
Great
  Western railways, 18 m. N.E. of Cardiff. Pop. (1901), 31,093. A branch of the Glamorganshire canal passes through the place. At the beginning of the 19th century Mountain Ash was a small
village
  known only by its Welsh name of Aberpenar, but from 1850, with the development of its collieries, the population rapidly increased. The
district
  has an area of 10,504 acres and comprises; besides Mountain Ash proper, a
string
  of villages, the
chief
  being Cwmpenar, Penrhiwceiber, Abercynon or Aberdare Junction (at the confluence of the Cynon with the Taff) and Ynysybwl, 3 M. to the west on the Clydach. The public buildings include St Margaret's (1862) and St Winifred's (1883), the parish churches of Mountain Ash and Penrhiwceiber respectively; old and new town halls (1864 and 1904), cottage
hospital
 
    See Also:
(1896), and a library institute and public
hall
  erected in 1899, at a cost of 8000, by the workmen of Nixon's Navigation collieries. There is a park of 7 acres given in 1897, by Lord Aberdare, whose residence, Duffryn, is in the district. There are also a workmen's institute and a public
hall
  at Penrhiwceiber. The older part of the urban district is included in the parliamentary borough of Merthyr Tydfil, and also shares with Merthyr and Aberdare the services of a stipendiary
magistrate
 .
