The settlements now known as Deiniolen and Clwt-y-Bont began in the 1820s based along the road and railway to the nearby Dinorwig Quarry.[2] The village was originally known as Llanbabo (since several settlers arrived from the Anglesey village of Llanbabo) and later the village adopted the name Ebeneser (from the Chapel established in 1823). In the 1920s, after a campaign led by Huw Robert Jones, the village adopted its current name of Deiniolen.[3]
Ebenezer Chapel (Capel Ebeneser) was built in 1823. The first minister was the Rev. David Griffydd with Rev. John Prichard being the last. Two of the most important annual events in Deiniolen are held in the chapel's vestry. These are the Deiniolen Eisteddfod and the Carnival Queen Crowning Concert; local school children take part in both events which still continue to this day throughout the village. The chapel was the source of the village's original name Ebeneser.[4]
Cefn y Waun Chapel
Cefn y Waun Chapel (Capel Cefn-y-Waun) was built by local quarrymen in 1838. Before the chapel was built the local people held their services either in local farmhouses or in the open air. In 1867, the chapel was worth £2,100 but the chapel also had a debt of £2,100. The first minister was Rev. W. Rowlands.
