The area covered by Gwent Police is about 600 square miles, bounded by Abergavenny in the north, Newport in the south, Chepstow in the east and Caerphilly in the west. Gwent was an ancient kingdom in SE Wales. From 1974 to 1996, it was the name of a county made up of most of the former administrative county of Monmouthshire and the county borough of Newport. Gwent lives on in some names, such as the police force and the rugby team Newport Gwent Dragons. A local newspaper continues to use Gwent, as a shorthand way of referring to the area known as Monmouthshire before 1974.
