Ammanford, Former coal mining town in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
Ammanford stands at the intersection of the A483 and A474 roads, with the Heart of Wales railway line serving its transportation needs.
The settlement changed its name from Cross Inn to Ammanford in 1880, reflecting its position at the ford of the River Amman.
The National Eisteddfod, a celebration of Welsh literature and performance, took place in Ammanford during 1922 and 1970.
The town council provides financial support through grants to local organizations, with applications for 2024-25 closing on October 25, 2024.
During the Ammanford Anthracite Strike of 1925, miners controlled the town for ten days, leading to significant confrontations with law enforcement.
