In 1884, the village was described as follows: Llangynog is a parish, in the higher division of the hundred of Derllys, union and county of Carmarthen, South Wales. Llangynog is {{convert|6|mi|km}} south-west from Carmarthen; containing 800 inhabitants. The community comprises about {{convert|5429|acre|km2}} of good land, chiefly arable, and has been greatly improved since the year 1806. The greater part of it being now in a good state of cultivation. The surrounding scenery, with few exceptions, is tame and uninteresting, though some of the distant views are picturesque and beautiful. The soil is poor, rocky, and barren, and the chief produce is oats and barley, with a little wheat... The parish church, dedicated to St. Cynog, is a very plain edifice, consisting of two aisles.[2] St Cynog's church is a grade II* listed building.[3] The triangle formed by Llangynog, Llangain and Llansteffan constitutes Dylan Thomas' "breeding-box valley", as he once put it. His mother's family, the Williamses, lived in the triangle, in farms such as Waunfwlchan, Llwyngwyn, Maesgwyn and Penycoed.[4] The community is bordered by the communities of: Newchurch and Merthyr; Carmarthen; Llangain; Llansteffan; Laugharne Township; and St Clears, all being in Carmarthenshire.
