Prior to the 2012 Anglesey electoral boundary changes Maeshyfryd was an electoral ward to the Isle of Anglesey County Council. It generally elected a Plaid Cymru county councillor, with the exception of the 2004 election when the Plaid Cymru councillor lost to the Labour Party candidate.[3] Maeshyfryd is now part of the larger Caergybi ward[4] though it continues to be a community ward for Holyhead Town Council.
