Governance
Urban district status was conferred on the town in 1898; at this time, the area comprised two parishes, Buckley (1874) and Bistre (1844). The urban district of Buckley was formed of Ewloe, Pentrobin and Bannel (which was formerly a part of the parish of Hawarden), Argoed, and Bistre (the oldest part of the town). Wat's Dyke formed the western boundary.
Prior to then, it was divided between the parishes of Mold and Hawarden. Buckley is part of the Alyn and Deeside UK parliamentary constituency and the Alyn and Deeside Welsh Assembly constituency.
