Aberllefenni was built around the Aberllefenni quarries, which operated from as early as the 14th century.
Sixteen houses and cottages owned by John Lloyd of Inigo Jones Slateworks, comprising almost the entire village, went up for sale in 2016 for £1.5 million.[1] After their sale in October 2022 to Walsh Investment Properties, tenants were subject to evictions and the previously low rent was increased to "bring them in line with current market values".[2]
The village has a community council. The current representatives are elected residents and the local councillor who often attends[clarification needed] is John Pughe Roberts. The community council system replaced the old parish council system and tackles local issues, acts as a contact point between local government and residents for information and resource on matters including the environment, equality, ethnicity and gender.[3]
