In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Tremadoc like this:
TREMADOC, a small town, and a sub-district, in the district of Festiniog and county of Carnarvon. The town is in Ynyscynhaiarn parish; stands on the W side and a little above Traeth-Mawr, 1½ mile NNW of Porth-Madoc r. station, and 4½ ENE of Criccieth; was founded by Mr. Maddocks of Tanyrallt, at the reclaiming of Traeth-Mawr; is built in regular alignment, in the form of a square; and has a post-office under Carnarvon, a banking office, a hotel, a market house, a neat church with a spire, a weekly market on Friday, and six annual fairs. ...
-The sub-district contains six parishes. Acres, 55,407, Pop., 6,848. Houses, 1,374.
