The Borough of Colwyn was one of six districts of the county of Clwyd, north-east Wales, from 1974 to 1996.
It was formed under the Local Government Act 1972 from the following parts of the administrative county of Denbighshire:
- The municipal borough of Colwyn Bay
- The urban district of Abergele
- Parts of the rural districts of Aled and Hiraethog.[1]
The borough was abolished in 1996, when wales was divided into unitary authorities created by the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994. The area of Colwyn was split: a large part going to Aberconwy and Colwyn county borough, (soon renamed as Conwy), and the remainder going to Denbighshire unitary authority.
Colwyn is twinned with Konstanz, Germany and Roissy-en-Brie, France.
