Situated in North East Wales, bounded by the Clwydian Hills to the west and the undulating Shropshire countryside to the south, the County Borough offers an interesting and varied environment.

Covering an area of 50,500 hectares with a population of 125,000 the County Borough has plenty to offer whether you are a tourist, potential resident or business seeking to expand or relocate.

Wrexham’s early history is shrouded in the mists of time. Evidence of prehistoric human activity in the area was revealed by the discovery of skeletal remains, known as "Brymbo Man", in a Bronze Age burial at Brymbo. "Brymbo Man" has been returned recently to the County Borough Museum. The Roman occupation saw development of a settlement at Plas Coch on the edge of town, a tile factory at Holt, lead mining at Ffrith and an encampment at Chirk.
