Sefydlwyd Cyngor Dosbarth Gwledig Ogwen yn 1894, a bu mewn bodolaeth hyd 1974.

Roedd plwyfi , , Aber a Phentir o fewn dalgylch y Cyngor.

Ymddengys mae y Clerc oedd yn gyfrifol am rhan helaeth o "weithgareddau a chofnodion y Cyngor, felly cynhwysir rhan fwyaf o'r cofnodion dan Adran y Clerc.

Fe gynhaliwyd cyfarfodydd Awdurdod Iechyd Porthladd Beaumaris yn swyddfa'r Cyngor, gyda Clerc y Cyngor yn cadw cofnodion yr awdurdod yma. Gan hynny, ymddengys bod yr cofnodion yma wedi ei cadw a gweddill o gofnodion y Cyngor. Trefnwyd y cofnodion yn ol eu pynciau, gyda'r dyddiadau cynharaf i'r diweddaraf ymhob adran. Gyda enwau lleoedd, defnyddiwyd yr dull diweddaraf o'u sillafu megis Llandygai yn lie Llandegai, Faenol yn lie Vaynol.

Ogwen Rural District Council was established in 1894, and remained in existence until 1974.

The parishes of Llanllechid, Llandygai, Aber and were in the catchment area of the Council.

It appears that the Clerk was responsible for most of the activities and records of the Council, therefore most of the records are placed under the Clerks Department. The meetings of the Beaumaris Port Health Authority were held in the offices of the Council, and the Council Clerk kept the minutes of this authority. Therefore, it appears that these records were kept with the rest of the Council's records.

The records were arranged by subject, from the earliest to the latest dates in every section.

With place names, the modern versions are used, for example Llandygai instead of Llandegai, Faenol instead of Vaynol. These documents were received into the care of the Gwynedd Archives Service in 1975. Contents
