-=== History <br> ===
+'''Cardigan''' (Welsh: '''Abertiefi''') is a town, [[Communities in Wales|community]] and ecclesiastical parish on the estuary of the Afon Teifi in [[Ceredigion]], [[Wales]].
-Cardigan is an anglicisation of the Welsh Ceredigion meaning "Ceredig's land." The town's Welsh name Aberteifi means "mouth of the Teifi."
+Before 1974 the village was in the historic county of [[Cardiganshire]] and, between 1874 and 1996 in the [[County of Dyfed]]. In 1996 it became part of the modern county of [[Ceredigion]].
-For the Welsh "Ceredigion" refers only to the name of the county, whereas in the past "Cardigan", for the English, referred to both town and county. Distinction was later made by the county being referred to as Cardiganshire, although since 1996 it is referred to as Ceredigion in both languages. For more information, see [[www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CGN/Cardigan/|Cardigan, Cardiganshire at genuki.org.uk]] and also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardigan,_Ceredigion Wikipedia]<br>
+Cardigan is predominantly a Welsh language speaking community.
