The original travelers to the Rhondda were from country Wales but later on a higher percentage came from England. In 1901 64.4% of the population of the Rhondda Urban District were recorded as Welsh-speaking however this percentage fell to 56.6% by 1911. After being a community whose work relied virtually completely on coal mining in the Abergorki, Tylecoch, Parc and also Dare collieries, by the end of the 1970s all of these collieries had actually closed. Treorchy became a commuter village, with the working population looking for work in the bigger communities and also cities close by, such as Cardiff and Bridgend.
