Garden City is a village in the Sealand community of Flintshire, part of the Deeside conurbation on the border between Wales and England, west of Chester. It stands on flat land reclaimed from the head of the Dee estuary, on a stretch first enclosed in 1753 that reaches as far as Hawarden Bridge.
The village began as a planned community for workers at the steelworks at Shotton, in keeping with the company's policy of giving its workers decent housing. It was to have been called Sealand Garden Suburb and was planned to be four times bigger, but the First World War halted building. Steelmaking at Shotton ended in 1980.
The Sealand community also takes in the village of Sealand and Sealand Manor, an agricultural settlement founded by the Welsh Land Settlement Society in 1937. The Wirral band OMD recorded a 1984 track called Garden City.
Hawarden Bridge, a railway swing bridge opened in 1889, carries the Borderlands line between Wrexham and Bidston over the Dee near Shotton, with National Cycle Route 5 crossing beside it. Hawarden Bridge station stands on the north side of the bridge, and Shotton station, on the south side, links with the North Wales Coast line.
