History

Much of the area was part of the large Wynnstay Estate owned for generations by the families of Sir Watcyn Williams Wynne. Wynnstay was a famous estate in Wales, the Family seat of the Wynns Sir John Wynn 5th Baronet (1628–1719 succeeded his cousin Sir Richard Wynn 4th Baronet as a baronet in 1674 but did not inherit the lands of the Gwydyr Estate The connection is noted in the "Wynnstay Arms", a prominent local public house.

The parish of Llanbrynmair played prominent roles in both the "Nonconformist Revolution" of the late 18th Century and the emigration to America during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This cultural revolution was the movement of Welsh religious independents to break from the established Church of England. The parish is reputed to have been the source of the most emigrants to America of any in Wales. The first of them departed Llanbrynmair in 1796. A large proportion of these emigrants settled in western Ohio, particularly in the rural farming communities of Paddy's Run (now Shandon), Gomer and Venedocia.
