Delta Welsh Heritage

Welcome/Croeso to the Delta Welsh Heritage website.

Beginning in the 1840s, slate quarrymen from the north of Wales emigrated in large numbers to work in the quarries of Delta, PA, and Cardiff, MD, the home of Peach Bottom Slate.  These pages are a tribute to the rich heritage of Welsh culture they brought with them, and which is still celebrated in the area today.
