This was shown in the borough's coat of arms which represented a mountain below a grove of oak trees. Islwyn was also the nom de plume of local poet William Thomas (1832–1878). The borough was abolished in 1996, when its area became part of Caerphilly County Borough.[1] Islwyn continues as a Westminster constituency and a Welsh Assembly constituency. Its best-known MP was Neil Kinnock.
