It was founded on 27 April 1874 at the Queen's Hotel, Caenarfon after a month of discussions between quarrymen from Dinorwic and other supporters.[1] Initially the union was not led by miners but radical Liberals who later became supporters of David Lloyd George's Cymru Fydd[2] It merged with the Transport and General Workers' Union in 1923.
