Why New York?
There used to be a cottage at the top of our land here at Penstacan called New York and another in the village called Pennsylvania. There was a saying that Cilycwm is 'only as big as New York to Pennsylvania'. A local historian friend told us the story and encouraged us to preserve the history and keep the name, so we did.
