In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Llandough Juxta Penarth like this:
LLANDOUGH-JUXTA-PENARTH, a parish in Cardiff district, Glamorgan; on the river Ely, immediately above its influx to the mouth of the river Taff, 3 miles SSW of Cardiff r. station. It has a post office, of the name of Llandough, under Cardiff. Acres, 689. Real property, £1,376; of which £600 are in quarries. Pop. in 1851,135; in 1861,234. Houses, 44. The increase of pop. arose from proximity to Cardiff, and from connexion with the improvements in that town's harbour and trade. The property is divided among a few. Cogan was the seat of the Herberts, and is now a farmhouse. The living is a rectory, annexed to the rectory of Leckwith, in the diocese of Llandaff. The church is good.
