See also Ceredigion County Council, the post-1996 unitary authority.

The administrative county of Cardiganshire and its local authority, the Cardiganshire County Council was established in 1889 under the Local Government Act 1888. The first elections were held in January 1889. The county was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972 on 1 April 1974.

As a result of the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, which came into force on 1 April 1996, a new unitary authority of Ceredigion was established. Its boundaries were identical to those of the previous county council and the Ceredigion District Council which operated between 1974 and 1996.
