Rhymney history

The upper Sirhowy Valley at this time would have been a natural well wooded valley. It was from this pastoral pre-industrial period that the Buccaneer Henry Morgan was born around 1635 – the eldest son of Robert Morgan, a farmer living in Llanrhymny. The town was founded with the establishment of the Union ironworks in 1801, with the Rhymney Iron Company later being founded from a merger between the Bute and Union Ironworks.

Rhymney etymology

The town is named after the Rhymney River, whose name derives from the Welsh word rhwmp “auger” + -ni, a derivational noun ending.
