In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Gowerton like this:
GOWER ROAD, a railway station in Glamorgan; on the South Wales railway, 3¼ miles WNW of Swansea. Penllergare, the seat of J. D. Llewellyn, Esq., is 1½ mile to the N.
Gowerton is now part of SWANSEA District. Click here for graphs and data of how SWANSEA has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Gowerton itself, go to Statistics.
