New Quay was not recognised as a separate settlement at this time, with whatever residents it might have had divided between the two parishes of Llanllwchaiarn and Llanina.
New Quay was becoming more popular as a port at the start of the nineteenth century, there being an increase in tonnage shipped from 500 to 3,500 tons between 1823 and 1833.
