Swansea District or Swansea District of Boroughs was a borough constituency. It was represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
Boundaries
Upon its creation in 1832 the constituency comprised five separate boroughs, Swansea, Neath, Aberavon, Kenfig and Loughor. There were some minor boundary changes in 1868 but the composition of the constituency in terms of boroughs remained the same until 1885.
In 1885, the constituency was split into two, with the central part of Swansea borough forming the Swansea Town constituency, and the remainder of Swansea, together with the four smaller boroughs, forming a constituency which retained Swansea District as its name.
