Connah’s Quay history

---

The earliest recorded settlements date from the time of the Domesday Book, listed as ‘Wepre’, part of the Hundred of Ati’s Cross, Cheshire. Until the 18th century, the area where Connah’s Quay and its neighbours Shotton, Aston and Queensferry now stand was nothing more than fields and a handful of inhabitants. It was not until the silting of the River Dee ended Chester’s port activities that people and commerce began to flood in.

Connah’s Quay etymology

Connah’s Quay is a relatively recent name, with the settlement (and nearby wood) first recorded in English under the name Wepre. Thomas Morgan stated that this was a corruption of the ancient name Wybre, (Gwybre or Gwybra in Modern Welsh). This name is derived from the Welsh place-name elements “Gwy” and “Bre” (hill) The modern English name probably became extant with the opening of the New Cut channel to the sea in 1737. The official Welsh name is Cei Connah, a partial calque of the English name.
