Cemaes Rural District was an administrative subdivision of Pembrokeshire, Wales from 1934 to 1974.

The district's name is that of its northernmost point, the promontory Cemaes Head, though it may also hark back to the Cantref of Cemais, which existed from Norman times, and as the Hundred of Cemais from the 16th century.

Formation

Cemaes Rural District was formed in 1934 by the amalgamation of St Dogmells Rural District and Llanfyrnach Rural District. The council was administered from Cardigan, outside its area.[1][2]
