Wales is a village and a civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is on the border of South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. The civil parish of Wales, which has a population of 6,455,〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Rotherham'' ) Retrieved 2009-08-28〕 encompasses the village of Wales and neighbouring settlement Kiveton Park.
==History==
Wales shares its name with the country of Wales, and the derivation may well be the same: the name ''Wales'' coming from a Germanic root meaning ''foreigner'' and ''Roman''. The suggestion, therefore, is that there was a continued Celtic presence here following the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons at the turn of the 6th century. The earliest reference to Wales is in 1002, when Wolfric Spot, a Saxon thegn, is recorded as owning ''Walesho''.
Sir William Hewet, Lord Mayor of London in 1559, was born in Wales, and his descendants, the Dukes of Leeds, would come to dominate the area.
