Glamorgan
Glamorgan is an historic county of Wales. (For more information about the ancient counties of the UK, see the historic counties page and the place types page.)
From The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, (1870-72):
A maritime county of South Wales; bounded on the S and SW, by the Bristol channel; on the W, by the river Loughor, which divides it from Carmarthen; on the N, by Carmarthen and Brecon; on the E, by the river Rumney, which divides it from Monmouth.
A tract along the coast, called the Vale of Glamorgan, from 8 to 10 miles broad, is a fine plain, very fertile, and popularly known as the "garden of South Wales."
The number of collieries, within the county, in 1860, was 181; and the output of coals, in South Wales, partly in Carmarthen, Pembroke and Brecon, but chiefly in Glamorgan, in 1859, was 10,000,350 tons./
