merging of multiple villages, including Baglan, Margam, and Aberafan.
The name 'Port Talbot' first appears in 1837 as the name of the new
docks built on the south-east side of the river Afan by the Talbot
family. Over time it came to be applied to the whole of the emerging
conurbation.The earliest evidence of humans in the Port Talbot area
has been found on the side of Mynydd Margam where Bronze Age farming
ditches can be found from 4,000 BC. There were Iron Age hill forts on
Mynydd Dinas, Mynydd Margam, Mynydd Emroch and other nearby hills.
Mynydd Hawdef contains remains of an ancient Iron Age village. The
Margam deer herd was first introduced by the Romans. Port Talbot Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
