Telford and Wrekin, Administrative borough in Shropshire, England.
Telford and Wrekin stretches across central Shropshire, encompassing the primary town of Telford and surrounding settlements including Newport and Wellington.
The district emerged in 1974 from five former districts, including Dawley, Newport, Oakengates, and Wellington, before becoming a unitary authority in 1998.
The area maintains 29 civil parishes with distinct local identities, supporting community events through facilities such as Telford Theatre and recreation centers.
The M54 motorway connects the borough to major transport networks, while three railway stations and local bus services ensure mobility throughout the region.
The borough derives its name from civil engineer Thomas Telford and The Wrekin, a prominent hill that stands 407 meters above the surrounding landscape.
