Cogan, Glamorgan

Cogan is a former village, now usually considered to be a suburb of Penarth, Glamorgan. In the early 19th century Cogan was a small village of a few scattered houses and farms. The building of Penarth Docks in 1865 and the town's rapid growth prompted an explosion of house building in Cogan, though it only became contiguous with Penarth in the second half of the twentieth century. Cogan Pill House dates from around the turn of the 16th-century and is the oldest still standing house in the Penarth area. Cogan is within the council area of The Vale of Glamorgan.
