Did you know ?
The town of Porthmadog, located in Gwynedd, Wales, did not even exist before the late 18th century. It came into being as a direct result of the industrial revolution, when William Madocks, a visionary entrepreneur, reclaimed a large area of Traeth Mawr from the sea for agricultural use. However, his most significant achievement was the construction of a sea wall, known as 'The Cob', in 1811. This remarkable feat of engineering not only created new farmland but also a new harbour which rapidly developed into a thriving seaport, exporting slate from the quarries of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The town that grew around the harbour was named 'Port Madoc' after its founder.

Fun Fact !
Another interesting facet of Porthmadog is its prominent role in the Welsh narrow gauge railway revolution. The town is home to not one, but two iconic narrow gauge railways, namely the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland Railway. The Ffestiniog Railway, which opened in 1836, was the world's first narrow gauge railway to carry both passengers and freight. Today, it remains one of the top tourist attractions in Wales, offering visitors a 13.5-mile journey from Porthmadog to the slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The Welsh Highland Railway, reopened in 2011, is the UKs longest heritage railway and takes passengers on a 25-mile journey from Porthmadog to Caernarfon, passing through stunning landscapes of the Snowdonia National Park.
Wikipedia Says
Porthmadog (Welsh: [prmad] ), originally Portmadoc until 1974 and locally as "Port", is a coastal town and community in the Eifionydd area of Gwynedd, Wales, and the historic county of Caernarfonshire. It lies 5 miles (8 km) east of Criccieth, 11 miles (18 km) south-west of Blaenau Ffestiniog, 25 miles (40 km) north of Dolgellau and 20 miles (32 km) south of Caernarfon. The community population of 4,185 in the 2011 census was put at 4,134 in 2019. It grew in the 19th century as a port for local slate, but as the trade declined, it continued as a shopping and tourism centre, being close to Snowdonia National Park and the Ffestiniog Railway. The 1987 National Eisteddfod was held there. It includes nearby Borth-y-Gest, Morfa Bychan and Tremadog.
