Carnarvon and Caernarvon are Anglicised spellings that were superseded in 1926 and 1974 respectively. Abundant natural resources in and around the Menai Straits enabled human habitation in the area during pre-history. The Ordovices, a Celtic tribe, lived in the region during classical antiquity. The Roman fort, Segontium was established in about 80AD to subjugate the Ordovices during the Roman conquest of Britain. The Romans and occupied the region until their departure in the 5th century, after which Caernarfon became part of the Kingdom of Gwynedd.
