An election to the Neath Rural District Council in West Glamorgan, Wales was held on 8 May 1958. It was preceded by the 1955 election, and followed by the 1961 election. [1]
A Labour stronghold for over twenty years, the position remained more or less the same as a result of the election, with the most notable feature being the defeat of the last Communist councillor. [1] Over half of the wards saw Labour candidates returned unopposed.
The profile of candidates was similar to three years previously with a number of long-serving Labour councillors returned unopposed.
As noted there were very few changes, with Labour gaining a seat from the Communists and losing another, at Glyn-neath, to an Independent candidate who headed the poll.

Neath North is an electoral ward of Neath Port Talbot county borough, Wales falling within the community of Neath.
The first election to the Glamorgan County Council was held on 17 January 1889. Results were announced over several days. They were followed by the 1892 election.

The county of Glamorgan was at this time becoming heavily industrialised although some areas such as the Vale of Glamorgan remained essentially rural.
The second election to the Glamorgan County Council was held on 8 March 1892. The 1889 election was the first contest and the next was the 1895 election. Glamorgan County Council had been established by the 1888 Local Government Act, and the first election held in January 1889. Glamorgan was by far the largest county in Wales in terms of population. The county of Glamorgan was at this time becoming heavily industrialised, although some areas such as the Vale of Glamorgan remained essentially rural. The rise of nonconformist liberalism, especially since the 1860s, throughout Wales, had challenged the prevailing influence of the landed gentry. However, even in 1889, the traditional forces remained influential and no working men were elected to the Council. This changed in 1892 with the unopposed return of David Morgan in Aberdare and the success of Isaac Evans in Resolven.
