New Broughton is a former industrial village located in Wrexham, North Wales. The population is 3,173, according to the 2001 census,[1] increasing to 3,448 at the 2011 Census.[2]

It is part of the wider Broughton local government community, and is situated between Southsea (to the North) and Caego (to the South). Still widely regarded a working-class area, in recent years, new housing estates have been built and attracted more middle-class families, who tend to live just outside the village, on the hill.
