Background
History
Its name is a combination of Welsh ' "church" + ' "Mary" and ' "fort" + ', a personal name, meaning "the church of Mary [at] the fort of Einion". The town is built upon the site of an old Roman fort. The site of the Battle of Maes Moydog (1295) is nearby. In 1758 the town was almost completely wiped out by a major fire.
