The village is associated with Daniel Rowland (born here in 1713) and the Welsh Methodist revival in the 18th century.
Rowland served as curate at Nantcwnlle and Llangeitho.
The village chapel, built in 1760, became famous throughout Wales as a Calvinistic Methodist centre and thousands visited it to hear the preaching.
Rowland was buried in the village and there is a memorial column to him.
Two larger chapels were built, in 1764 and 1814, to replace the previous one.

Llangeitho saw several further periods of religious revival in that century.
The strongest was in 1762, when rejoicing, dancing and jumping for joy earned the Welsh Methodists the nickname "Jumpers".
William Williams Pantycelyn wrote in defence of the celebrations.
The village was also the childhood home of David Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
