Fairbourne
Fairbourne is a Welsh seaside town. It pushes the coast of Barmouth Bay in Arthog area, to the south of the estuary of the River Mawddach in Gwynedd, bordered by the Snowdonia National Park. It is in a location detailed by Gwynedd council for handled resort because of rising water level. The location where Fairbourne now is became part of the historical county of Merioneth, and also consisted primarily of salt marshes and slightly higher grazing lands. Prior to growth began in the mid 19th Century there were 3 farms on the land. Before the seaside resort was built, the coastal area was known as Morfa Henddol, while the promontory outcrop currently occupied by the Fairbourne Resort was called Ynysfaig. Regarding 1865 Solomon Andrews, a Welsh business owner, bought the promontory. Over the following numerous years he constructed a seawall for tidal defense as well as numerous houses. To facilitate this he built a horse-drawn tramway from the railway to the website in order to bring in building products, it was transformed to a steam railway in 1916. Sir Arthur McDougall (of flour making fame) had actually been seeking a nation estate, yet when he found this location, he quickly visualized it as a seaside resort. In July 1895 Arthur McDougall purchased a substantial acreage from land speculators, which he enlarged by extra whole lots the following year. He hired a home builder in 1896 that began the development of a model seaside resort. Unusually for Gwynedd area, the town has no main Welsh-language name. Unlike a lot of Gwynedd, where Welsh is the majority language, English is the predominate language in Fairbourne with most of its occupants coming from or came down from those who originated from England.
