In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Boverton like this:
BOVERTON, a hamlet in Lantwit-Major parish, Glamorgan; on the Julian way, 4½ miles S of Cowbridge. It has a post office under Cowbridge. It disputes with other places the claim of being the Roman Bovium; and it has traces of a baronial fortalice which belonged first to the lords of Cardiff, then to the family of Seys.
Boverton is now part of THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN District. Click here for graphs and data of how THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Boverton itself, go to Statistics.
