A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Ynyscynhaearn from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "YNYSCYNHAIARN, a parish in the [registration] district of Festiniog and county of Carnarvon; on the coast, around Portmadoc [railway] station. It contains Portmadoc and Tremadoc, which have post-offices under Carnarvon. Acres: 6,546; of which 1,200 are water. Real property: £7,421. Population in 1851: 2,347; in 1861: 3,138. Houses: 596. The increase of population arose from extension of the slate-carrying trade at Portmadoc. The property is not much divided. The living is a [perpetual] curacy, annexed to Criccieth. The church is modern."
Ynyscynhaearn included the township of Tremadoc.
There is no article as such on Ynyscynhaearn in Wikipedia, but it mentions St Cynhaearn's Church, Ynyscynhaearn, a now redundant church standing in an isolated position on a former island in Llyn (Lake) Ystumllyn, 900 metres (980 yd) south of the village of Pentrefelin, Gwynedd, Wales. The church was originally the parish church for Portmadoc.
