History
Settlement at Y Ffôr dates back to the Stone Age, but the village itself was established at the beginning of the 19th century.[1] It was originally known as 'Fourcrosses', as it was founded at a crossroads created with the construction of the Porthdinllaen Turnpike trust road (now the B4354), which crossed the road from Pwllheli to Caernarfon (now the A499).[1] The Fourcrosses Inn meant that the village was a stopping point for stage coaches.[1] Fairs were also held in the village square.[1]
Education
The village has a primary school called Ysgol Bro Plennydd. This was built in 1912, to replace the former school near the Plasgwyn farm.[1] It is named after Henry Jones Williams, a poet from the village who was known as Plennydd.[1]
Community
Y Ffôr has historically been the home of many poets, and there used to be a literary society in the village run by the poet Plennydd.[1]
