[[Wales Genealogy|Wales]][[Image:Gotoarrow.png]][[County Borough of Wrexham|Wrexham]]&[[Image:Gotoarrow.png]]Slater's Directory 1868 (Ruabon)
WITH THE PARISHES OR VILLAGES OF ACREFAIR, BRONYGARTH, CHIRK, DUDDLESTON, ERBISTOCK, GARTH, GLEDRID, THE LODGE, NEWBRIDGE, OVERTON, OVERTON-BRIDGE, PANT, PENTRE, PEN-Y-CAE, PONKEY, RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG, RHOSYMEDRE, ST. MARTIN'S, TREFYNANT, AND NEIGHBOURHOODS.
[[Ruabon, Wrexham|RUABON]] is a parish in the hundred and barony of Bromfield county of Denbigh - the village is 187 miles N.W. from London, 6 E. by N. from Llangollen, 5 S. by W. from Wrexham, the same distance W. by N. from Overton, 10 N. by W. from Ellesmere, 11½ from Oswestry, and 15 S. by W. from Chester, situated within a short distance of the Shropshire border, and watered by a rivulet that skirts the parish, and discharges itself into the Dee. This locality, which is rich in iron and coal, must have been in early days of some importance, and two ancient Dykes - Offa's and Wat's are still to be seen. The Caerdelyn, in this parish, an ancient settlement, occupies about four acres of land, which is still encumbered with vestiges of old dwellings. There are many works in the neighbourhood, of which we may mention, iron, coal, stone, and fire ware.
