Morganstown is a village in Glamorgan. The earliest building that has been discovered in Morganstown is the Morganstown Castle Mound from the middle ages.

The first known example of the name ‘Morgan’s Town’ dates from 1859. Morganstown is noted for having two Welsh names, Pentre-poeth and Treforgan, both recorded from the middle of nineteenth century.
