Location

It is close to the town of Cowbridge and the village of Llanharry.

Origin of the name

The hamlet has never held the status of a city and "City" is not a recognisable Welsh word, so its origin is unclear. There is local speculation that the name came from an Anglicisation of Saith Tŷ, which is Welsh for "Seven Houses".[ citation needed ]

There is another place in Wales called City, in Montgomeryshire, as well as City Dulas in Anglesey.

Amenities

The hamlet has no shops. It once had a pub called the City Inn, but it has now closed down and been replaced with residential properties. [1] It contains a village hall called Llansannor Community Hall, which is shared with the neighbouring hamlet of Llansannor and the surrounding local area. [2]
