History
Haverfordwest is a historic market town located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Its history can be traced back to at least the 9th century when Vikings established a settlement in the area. The town's name is derived from the Old English words "Hæfer" (he-goat) and "ford" (ford), reflecting its location near a river crossing.
Norman Influence: The Normans built a castle in Haverfordwest around 1120, which played a crucial role in the medieval history of the region. The castle changed hands several times during conflicts between the English and Welsh.
Medieval Market Town: Haverfordwest became an important medieval market town, and its strategic location along the Western Cleddau River contributed to its economic significance.
