Trefeurig civil parish and elected council was created in 1894 after the passing of the Local Government Act. Its size was reduced by the reorganisation of 1987 and Trefeurig Community Council was created stretching from Gogerddan to the ‘Fuwch a’r Llo’ on the mountain road to Ponterwyd. Under the same act most of the old civil parish of Parsel Canol and a piece of Tir-y-mynach were added to Trefeurig.
Trefeurig includes Penrhyn-coch and the villages of Pen-bont Rhydybeddau, Cwmsymlog, Cwmerfyn, Salem, Llwyn-prysg, Cefn-llwyd, Bancydarren and a part of Capel Dewi.
According to the 2021 census the area’s population was 1800.
