The 2001 census showed the town of Carmarthen to have a population of just over fourteen and a half thousand. The county within which the town lies is Carmarthenshire, and is sited on the River Towy, 8 miles north of its mouth at Carmarthen Bay. Carmarthen is famed for being the oldest town in Wales, but the two settlements of Old and New Carmarthen were only united into a single borough in 1546. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, Carmarthen was the most heavily populated borough in Wales and was described by historian William Camden as "the chief city of the country”. This growth did not continue as the rest of South Wales developed economically, and Carmarthen is now home to the headquarters of Dyfed-Powys Police, the Carmarthen campus of the University of Wales Trinity St David, and the West Wales General Hospital. Other famous landmarks in the town include St Peter’s Church, the largest Parish Church in Wales and the Picton monument, a memorial to Sir Thomas Picton who died in the Battle of Waterloo, erected in 1828.
Carmarthenshire boasts one of the highest proportions of people who can speak fluent Welsh, so if you were to telephone a number based in or around the area chances are you would end up speaking to a Welsh speaker.
