Toponym


In Welsh it is referred to as either Y Dyffryn (meaning The Valley) or [Y] Fali (pronounced as Valley).

An alternative history for the name is that it developed when the Stanley Embankment (known by locals as 'The Cob') was built in the 1820s. A depression, or valley, was dug to yield rubble for building the Cob, and the nearby cluster of dwellings became known as Valley by the labourers. Prior to the development of this name, the area was known such names as Glan Môr Tŷ Coch and Glan Môr Castell Llyfaint, according to accounts from the time.[2]


Political boundaries


Prior to the 2012 Anglesey electoral boundary changes Valley was an electoral ward to the Isle of Anglesey County Council. It is now part of the larger Llifon ward, together with Llanfaelog and Llanfair-yn-Neubwll.[3]

The community includes the village of Llanynghenedl and part of Four Mile Bridge.
