About the Name Hawarden
Locals pronounce it “Hey-warden” . The name itself has a curious history
English origin: Hawarden comes from Old English hēah (“high”) + worðign (“enclosure”). That literally means “high enclosure.”
Welsh connection: The Welsh also tied the name to an elevated position.
The funny part? Our Hawarden sits on low, wide-open prairie. If the old Welshmen wandered in today, they’d be scratching their heads wondering where the hill and walls went.
