In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Malltraeth like this:
MALLTRAETH, a hundred in the middle of the S of Anglesey; containing Aberffraw parish and seven. there parishes. Acres, 28,156. Pop. in 1851,6,317; in 1861,4,711. Houses, 1,070. The river Cefni flows along the E boundary, and terminates in a wide and long expanse of marsh and foreshore, called Malltraeth sands. The marsh has a desolate appearance; but has, too some extent, been drained and embanked; and is crossed by a viaduct of the Chester and Holyhead railway.
Malltraeth is now part of ISLE OF ANGLESEY District. Click here for graphs and data of how ISLE OF ANGLESEY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Malltraeth itself, go to Statistics.
