In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Gwynedd like this:
GWYNEDD, an ancient territory, generally identical with North Wales. It was the country of the Ordovices, and was called Venedotia by the Romans.
Gwynedd is now part of GWYNEDD District. Click here for graphs and data of how GWYNEDD has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Gwynedd itself, go to Statistics.
