In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Westfa like this:
WESTFA, a hamlet in Llanelly parish, Carmarthen; near Llanelly. Real property, £3,284; of which £26 are in mines, £8 in quarries, and £40 in railways. Pop. in 1851, 1,094; in 1861, 1,511. Houses, 289. The increase of pop. arose from the extension of the coal, iron, tin, and copper trades.
Westfa is now part of CARMARTHENSHIRE District. Click here for graphs and data of how CARMARTHENSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Westfa itself, go to Statistics.
