Rhos is an electoral ward in Wrexham County Borough in north‑east Wales, centred on the large village of Rhosllanerchrugog. It sits just west of Wrexham town and mixes suburban terraces and modern housing with local shops, community facilities and green fringes leading into the surrounding countryside.
The area grew rapidly in the 19th century with coal mining and clay extraction shaping its economy and social life, leaving a strong working‑class and Welsh‑speaking heritage that persists in choirs, chapels and community events. Today many residents commute to Wrexham and Chester, while local initiatives and small businesses help maintain a distinct village identity.
