Located just 1.5 miles from Dre-fach Felindre, Cwmpengraig is a small community with a history of woollen mill production. In the early 19th century, furling mills were established in Pentrecwrt, Dolwyon, Drefach and Cwmpengraig. By the beginning of the 20th century, substantial mills were built, employing 50-100 people. Mill cottages were built to house the employees although by the end of the 1920s the industry went into decline.
