The Bath family originated in Cornwall but established itself in Swansea in 1816 with the arrival of Henry Bath (1776–1844). He became a major copper merchant with his own wharf and storage yard with smelting facilities in Swansea. His company, Henry Bath & Sons Ltd, later diversitied into shipping to transport its copper ores. The company moved out of family control in 1923 but still exists, based in Liverpool and specializing in global commodities, warehousing and logistics.<br />
<br />
Charles Bath, a grandson of Henry, was Mayor of Swansea 1863–64.<br />
