==History==
Nearby Merthyr Dyfan contained land belonging to a sub manor of Cadoxton. It contained two carucates and 240 customary acres of arable land, and there was a court or grange belonging to it in Colcot.
Historically the farms Colcot Fawr and Colcot Ganol were in the vicinity, and a Collcot Farm is also mentioned in 1784. Colcot Fawr, once belonging to a John Love, was situated on the west side of Colcot Road, likely near where the Barry Comprehensive School now is. A prosperous farmer, he made his will in 1667 and died shortly afterwards in 1668; he is buried at Merthyr Dyfan church. The property was taken over by Thomas Love, who held Colcot Fawr until his death in 1683 when he is documented to have given £20 to his sisters Anne Love and Margaret Richard, and to his nephews and nieces, and a handsome number of his possessions to his brother Arnold. Anne is documented to have died in 1690, worth £41 and owed £29, 3 shillings.
Colcot Primary School was built in 1952.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About us )〕 Many of the council houses in the area were built in the 1950s; a testament to the period they were built today is street names like Elizabeth Avenue, named after the then recently coronated Queen and Margaret Avenue, named after her sister Princess Margaret. Barry Hospital, on Colcot Road, was established in the mid 1990s.
