In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Dock like this:
DOCK, a suburb of Llanelly, in Carmarthen; at the mouth of the river Llougher, and on the Llanelly and Dock railway, ¾ of a mile SW of Llanelly. It has a station on the railway with telegraph, and a post office‡ under Llanelly. An extensive dock is here, and floating basin, with 24 feet water; and the fair way to it is protected by a breakwater.
Dock is now part of CARMARTHENSHIRE District. Click here for graphs and data of how CARMARTHENSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dock itself, go to Statistics.
