context_page_description: Llanelli is the largest town in Carmarthenshire, the "Garden of Wales", and in the preserved county of Dyfed, Wales. Located on the Loughor estuary 10.5 miles north-west of Swansea and 12 miles south-east of the county town, Carmarthen, it was a market town that became industrialised in the early 19th century as the global centre for tinplate production. Several communities nearby may be included colloquially in Llanelli. The community of Llanelli had a population of 25,168 in 2011. Llanelli's current MP is Nia Griffiths. The local authority had previously been the Llanelli Borough Council when the preserved county of Dyfed was in existence, however it is now under Carmarthenshire County Council local authority.
