By A.D. 77 the Romans controlled North Wales through a number of forts. There have been many finds of Roman coins in and around Llandudno. These include 4th Century coins found in 1873 and copper coins found in 1907 near the Little Orme.

Until the development of the resort town, in the mid 19th Century, Llandudno was still a village where people engage in mining and fishing. Then the Llandudno as we know it today was born.
