A short history of Swansea
Swansea takes its Welsh name Abertawe from the mouth of the River Tawe and a trade post may have been set up there between the 9th and 11th centuries. In the early 1100s Iestyn ap Gwrgant handed the settlement to Henry de Beaumont. Henry built Swansea Castle around 1106. Coins bearing early forms of the English name were minted around 1140 and the Welsh name was first written down in 1150. Swansea became chief town of the Lordship of Gower and gained its first borough charter from William de Newburgh at some point from 1158 to 1184. King John granted a second charter in 1215 and another followed in 1304. The first copper smelter opened in 1717 and by the 1850s there were over 600 furnaces.
