In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bargoed like this:
BARGOED, a station on the Rhymney railway, on the mutual border of Monmouth and Wales, 18½ miles N of Cardiff. The Bargoed Rhymney valley here joins that of the Rhymney river; and is crossed by the railway on a handsome viaduct.
