The board states that the community of Quakers Yard, near Treharris, takes its name from the Quaker graveyard which opened in 1667. The area had previously been known as Rhyd y Grug (Ford of the Rustling Waters). The ford was a crossing of the River Taff near the confluence http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4813660 of the smaller Bargod Taf river.
