Merthyr Vale history
Merthyr Vale was known as Ynys Owen as early as 1630, with various traditional longhouse (tyddyn) farms marking out rural territories. There had been small scale coal extraction at Danyderi and Perthygleision, but in 1869 John Nixon started development of the Taff Colliery. The village immediately grew up around the shaft development, as did the later communities of Aberfan, Nixonville and Mount Pleasant.
