In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Towy like this:
TOWY (The), a river of South Wales; rising under Tregaron hill, in the NE of Cardigan; and running about 65 miles, south-south-westward, past Moel-Esgob, Va-nog, Ystrad-Ffin, Llandovery, Llangadock, Llandilo-fawr, Llanegwad, and Carmarthen, to a joint influx with the Taf at the head of Carmarthen bay. Its chief tributaries are the Towy-Vechan, the Camdwr, the Tothie, the Bran, the Sawddwy, the Cennen, the Cothi, and the Giuli.
Towy is now part of CARMARTHENSHIRE District. Click here for graphs and data of how CARMARTHENSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Towy itself, go to Statistics.
