Description

Rhosllanerchrugog or simply Rhos) is a village and community in Wrexham County Borough, Wales. It lies within the historic county of Denbighshire. The entire built-up area including Penycae, Ruabon and Cefn Mawr had a population of 25,362.
The name of the village is derived from that of the old Llanerchrugog estate, once one of the landholdings of Cynwrig ap Rhiwallon, Lord of Maelor Gymraeg.
The name Llanerchrugog is usually stated to be based on Welsh llannerch, "clearing" or "glade"; and , grugog "heathery", although an etymology based on crugog, "hilly", "rough", has also been suggested. The name of the mining village which later grew up on nearby moorland was usually written as "Rhos Llanerchrugog", in the early and mid 19th century, but later often became written as "Rhos-llanerchrugog" and finally as a single word. The spelling "Rhosllannerchrugog" has also since 1997 been used as an alternative to the legal community name.
