Monmouth is a local government district in Gwent, Wales.The name Gwent originated about 1,500 years ago, after the Romans left Britain. Its economy consists mainly of dairy and sheep farming, and the production of farming equipment and animal foodstuffs. The district contains the historic market towns of Abergavenny, Chepstow, Monmouth, and Usk. The Rivers Usk and Wye flow through the district. Abergavenny is a touring centre for the Black Mountains Abergavenny = yellow & orange on map

The town of Caerwent is the site of the Roman settlement of Venta Silurum. Usk has Roman and medieval remains. Near Chepstow lie the ruins of Tintern Abbey and Caldicot Castle.Gwent was a county in southeastern Wales. It ceased to exist as a local government area in April 1996. The winding course of the River Usk divides the area in two parts. To the west of the Usk, Gwent is mainly urban, with much manufacturing industry. To the east of the Usk, the area is mainly rural.

From 1536 until 1974, the area was known as Monmouthshire. As Monmouthshire fell under the jurisdiction of the English courts, many laws made for Wales referred specifically to "Wales and Monmouthshire." Gwent was formed when the local government of Wales was reorganized in 1974. It had boundaries similar to those of Monmouthshire, except that a small area was added in the northwest. In the west, small parts of Monmouthshire were taken into the new counties of Mid and South Glamorgan.[M.KENNEDY RESEARCH]
