In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Pontardulais like this:
PONT-AR-DULAIS, a place at the mutual boundary of Carmarthen and Glamorgan; on the river Loughor, at the influx of the Dulais, and on the Llanelly and Vale of Towy railway, 7¼ miles N E of Llanelly. It has a station with telegraph on the railway, and a post-office under Llanelly, and is a fishing-place.
