Dyfed is a preserved county of Wales.
Dyfed was created by the Local Government Act 1972 on 1 April 1974.
It covered the former counties of Cardiganshire, Carmarthenshire,
Pembrokeshire and was divided into local government districts as so:
The Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed had previously been the Lord Lieutenant
of Pembrokeshire, with the Lord Lieutenant of Cardiganshire and Lord
Lieutenant of Carmarthenshire becoming Lieutenants. The Dyfed-Powys
Police had been created a number of years earlier.
The Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 broke up Dyfed into three
unitary authorities on April 1, 1996: Cardiganshire (which renamed
itself Ceredigion as soon as it was able), Carmarthenshire and
Pembrokeshire, but retained Dyfed as a preserved county for purposes
such as Lieutenancy
The Preserved counties of Wales are the current areas used in Wales
for ceremonial purposes such as Lieutenancy. They are based on the
counties created by the Local Government Act 1972 and used for local
government and other purposes between 1974 and 1996.

The Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 abolished the eight ceremonial
counties created by the Local Government Act 1972. However, it
created the concept of preserved counties based on their areas, to
be used for purposes such as Lieutenancy. In addition to this
ceremonial function, the Boundary Commission must avoid crossing
preserved county borders when drawing up Parliamentary
constituencies, where practicable.
The preserved counties were originally almost identical to the
1974–1996 counties, but with a few minor changes intended to ensure
preserved counties were composed of whole principal areas. Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochant, Llansilin and Llangedwyn were transferred
from Clwyd to Powys, and Wick, St Brides Major, Ewenny and Pentyrch
were transferred from Mid Glamorgan to South Glamorgan. However,
these changes still left two county boroughs, Conwy and Caerphilly
split between preserved counties.
In order to rectify this, the National Assembly for Wales made two
changes of substance to the boundaries. These changes came into
effect on April 2, 2003. The part of the local government area of
Conwy which had been in Gwynedd was transferred to Clwyd, and the
part of the local government area of Caerphilly which had been in
Mid Glamorgan was transferred to Gwent. The boundary between Mid
Glamorgan and South Glamorgan was also re-aligned to reflect small
changes in local government boundaries. Each preserved county now
encompasses between one and five whole local government areas.
Clwyd - Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham
Dyfed - Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire
Gwent - Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Torfaen, Monmouthshire, Newport
Gwynedd - Anglesey, Gwynedd
Mid Glamorgan - Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taff
Powys - Powys
South Glamorgan - Cardiff, Vale of Glamorgan
West Glamorgan - Neath Port Talbot, Swansea
