The district was initially created as Ystradyfodwg Local Government District from parts of Ystradyfodwg, Llanwonno and Llantrisant parishes, Glamorgan, in 1877, when the Local Government Act 1858 was adopted. A local board was formed to govern the area.

The station has one platform with one small station shelter and is accessible by a small connector road. There is evidence of a previous platform, which originally served North bound trains to Treherbert, but this was left abandoned after rationalisation in 1982, which saw the removal of the North bound line.
Tonypandy railway station

The station cannot be directly accessed from Tonypandy, a scenic bridge over the river Rhondda must be used as the station adjoins a mountain. The original Pandy station was opened in 1841 by the Taff Vale Railway, and was situated opposite Walter Coffin’s Dinas Middle Colliery.
River Cynon
The River Cynon is a river in South Wales and is one of the larger tributaries of the River Taff. It arises within Cwm Cadlan in the Brecon Beacons National Park as the Nant Cadlan and is supplemented by a number of small streams arising from springs in the Carboniferous Limestone and Twrch Sandstone in the vicinity of Penderyn. The spring of Llygad Cynon is a notable example. However the young river soon crosses into the Carboniferous Coal Measures as it passes through Hirwaun.

Gorfynydd was a cantref in Morgannwg, Wales lying between the rivers Thaw (Ddawan) and Neath (Nedd) (and somewhat further in the coastal area). The name survived in ecclesiastical use until recently as the (subdivided) rural deanery of Gronneath (e.g. Gronneath Lower Western- the deanery centring on Llantwit Major).
Cambrian Colliery
The Cambrian Colliery was a large coal mine that operated between 1872 and 1967 near Clydach Vale in the Rhondda Valley, south Wales. It is notable for its huge production and for two infamous explosion disasters, in 1905 and 1965, in which a total of 64 miners were killed. Its owners sank the first pits into a rich coal seam in the 1870s from which, within 20 years, over 700 tons were being extracted daily.
Mynydd Maendy
Mynydd Maendy is a hilltop and moorland, near Gilfach Goch, in south Wales, to the southwest of Tonyrefail. As with the Maindee district of Newport the name derives from the Welsh maen dy meaning "stone house". A wind farm and an Iron Age Celtic hillfort are located on the summit. The large turbines of the wind farm can be seen from over 20 miles away on a clear day, and have raised environmental concerns. The wind farm administrative centre is located in nearby Tonyrefail.
