History

Maenclochog was a four community ward from 6 May 1999[3] with Clynderwen being transferred from Carmarthenshire to Pembrokeshire on 1 April 2003.

Following the recommendations of a boundary review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales, effective from the 2022 local elections, the Maenclochog ward was reconfigured, becoming a three community ward comprising Clunderwen, Llandissilio West and Maenclochog.[4] The community of Mynachlogddu became part of a new 'Crymych and Mynachlog-ddu' ward, while New Moat was transferred to the Wiston ward.
