The Village was settled in the 1840s by Welsh immigrants who left us a rich culture and heritage we enjoy today. Over the ensuing years we have striven to preserve the record of those early settlers, maintaining a collection of memorabilia and documents for review by the public and researchers alike. A booklet describing a self-guided tour of the remaining homes and other historic sites dating to that era is available at the Village Hall.

The Village of Wales Logo is the red dragon derived from the national flag of Wales:

The national flag of Wales is a red dragon displayed on a field of white and green, the principality’s traditional colors. It commemorates the legend that in a vision Merlin saw a white dragon kill a red dragon which rose again, symbolizing the failure of the Saxons to conquer Wales. In 1953 Elizabeth II granted the flag an "honorable augmentation", the dragon being surrounded by a scroll bearing the words:

"Y’drag go ch dry Cochin"
"The red dragon lends impetus"

The Welsh flag consists of two equal horizontal strips, white over green, superimposed on which is a large red dragon passant. The red dragon, one of the most ancient badges in the world, was brought to Britain by the Romans, who copied it from the Parthians, and it was subsequently used by both British and Saxon kings. Tradition tells it was used by Arthur, who adapted it from Caesar’s personal standard, and it was certainly the standard of Cadwalladr, from whom the Tudors were descended, and Henry VII on Bosworth field.
