Saltney is a small town in Flintshire, North Wales. It is immediately to the west of the border with Cheshire in England and forms part of the Chester urban area.
Higher Saltney (part of the area known locally as Saltney) is in Chester, Cheshire, with the Welsh sector of the community known more specifically as Saltney Town.[2]
The name is derived from the former salt marshes on which it is built, lying on the River Dee. Once the terminus of Sir John Glynne's Canal, Saltney grew in the late nineteenth century and through the twentieth century to its present population of 4,769 at the 2001 census.[1]
