About Haverfordwest
The town of Haverfordwest is the county town of Pembrokeshire, Wales, and the most populated urban area in Pembrokeshire, with a population of 14,596 as of 2011. After Milford Haven, it is the county’s second most populous community with 12,042 residents. Prendergast, Albert Town, and Withybush, both residential and industrial, are all part of the suburbs (housing, retail parks, hospital, airport and showground).
Haverfordwest’s location is advantageous since, before the Cleddau Bridge was built in 1975, it served as the lowest bridging point across the Western Cleddau.
According to the Old English haefer, the name of the town refers to a ford that was frequently frequented by heifers and goats. It’s pronounced “Harford” in the regional tongue. To differentiate it from Hereford, the “West” was inserted in the 15th century.
There has been a strong English-speaking community in Haverfordwest for hundreds of years. Notwithstanding South Pembrokeshire’s reputation as “Little England Beyond Wales,” the area has always had a substantial Welsh-speaking presence due to market trades with farmers in the county’s northern and eastern regions. Dating back to the time when all agricultural trade had to pass through the borough and the terrified Normans strove to keep Welshmen armed to the teeth from getting within the castle walls after dark, Prendergast appears to have begun as an extramural Welsh dormitory.
