# 1901 Llandeilo Rural District Council election

The third election to the Llandeilo Rural District Council was held in March 1901. It was preceded by the 1898 election and followed by the 1904 election. The successful candidates were also elected to the Llandeilo Board of Guardians.
There were a number of unopposed returns in the rural parishes. In the industrial areas where the population was rapidly growing due to the anthracite coal industry most wards were contested.

## Boundary changes

Following the growth of the population in the parishes of Betws and Llandybie, boundaries were re-arranged and additional seats created. A notable casualty of this change was Henry Herbert, Chair of the Llandeilo Board of Guardians, who was defeated in the Llandybie Ward by two other sitting members.
