Cardigan is a community and also community in the area of Ceredigion in Wales. The community pushes a tidal reach of the River Teifi at the factor where Ceredigion, formerly Cardiganshire, satisfies Pembrokeshire. Cardigan was the county town of the historic region as well as is the second-largest town in Ceredigion. The biggest community, Aberystwyth, is one of both management centres; the other being Aberaeron. The settlement at Cardigan was developed around the Norman castle integrated in the late 11th or very early 12th century. The castle was the place of the very first National Eisteddfod in 1176. The community ended up being a crucial port in the 18th century, yet declined by the very early 20th century owing to its shallow harbour. The castle went through reconstruction in 2014. The population in 2001 was 4,203, lowering somewhat to 4,184 at the 2011 census. Modern Cardigan is a portable and active town, having a lot of the centers for retail, education and learning, health, praise as well as sporting activity.
