The Community Assembly of Glamorgan (/ɡləˈmɔːrɡən/) or sometimes Glamorganshire (Welsh: Morgannwg [mɔrˈɡanʊɡ] or Sir Forgannwg [ˈsiːr vɔrˈɡanʊɡ]) is located in the administrative county in the south of Wales, which was later classed as one of the thirteen historic counties of Wales.

After falling under English rule in the 16th century, natural resources became an important part of the Industrial Revolution. Glamorgan was the most populated and industrialised county in Wales. It was once called the 'crucible of the Industrial Revolution' as it contained the world centres of three metallurgical industries (iron, steel and copper) and because of its rich resources of coal. The name also survives in that of Vale of Glamorgan, a county borough.

Archaeological evidence shows that humans settled in the area during an interstadial period. The oldest known human burial in Great Britain, the Red Lady of Paviland – was discovered in a coastal cave between Port Eynon and Rhossili, on the Gower Peninsula. The 'lady' has been radiocarbon dated to c. 29,000 BC during the Late Pleistocene, at which time the cave overlooked an area of plain, some miles from the sea.
