Celebrating The 56th Year of Our Relationship as Sister Cities / Twin Towns

The small communities of Brecon and Saline formed the the first  Welsh-American sister city relationship in 1966. The bonds between the two towns have grown into a close and active friendship and expanded far beyond a mere relationship between government officials. Over 4,000 trips have been made by residents of these two communities to share their cultures and their families. This joint web site is designed in part to share the history of that relationship with the public but it also functions as a part of the relationship itself. Here, citizens of Saline and Brecon who have not been able to be part of a travel exchange can learn about their sister city on separate home pages for each community. Those who have made visits can use the site to keep abreast of local news and events, including the events that are part of our sister city activities. As The Mayor of Brecon says, quoting from The Mabinogion, "A fo ben, bid bont." - "Whoever would be a leader must be a bridge". To hear the long-standing toast to our friendship, click here.
