John Davies (1832–1904), also known as Gwyneddon was a Welsh printer, editor, journalist and song writer. Davies was born in Bangor in North Wales, and as a young man began an apprenticeship as printer in the 'North Wales Chronicle' office. Later he joined the staff team as a reporter. In 1866 a weekly paper called the 'Cronicl Cymru' began production, and Davies was appointed editor. Two years later, he opened a print shop in Caernarfon. In October 1869, Davies began publishing 'Y Goleuad' from his shop. Davies died in Caernarfon on 30 January 1904. He had one son - Alderman Gwyneddon Davies.
