Plaid Cymru; The Party of Wales (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈplaɪd ˈkəmri]; often shortened to Plaid) originated in 1925 after a meeting held at that year’s National Eisteddfod in Pwllheli Caernarfonshire (now Gwynedd). Representatives from two Welsh nationalist groups founded the previous year Byddin Ymreolwyr Cymru (the Army of Welsh Home Rulers) and Y Mudiad Cymreig (The Welsh Movement) agreed to meet and discuss the need for a Welsh party.
