Johnston is a community in the hundred of Roose, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and a parish in the diocese of Diocese of St David's. It lies on the A4076 road approximately midway between Haverfordwest and the port of Milford Haven and is served by Johnston railway station. Until the end of the 19th century, anthracite was mined here. The village is now a dormitory for Haverfordwest and Milford Haven. The parish church has the typical tall, slim castellated tower of churches in English-speaking Little England beyond Wales. In 2011 11.4% of inhabitants could speak Welsh, down from 13.81% in 2001, but 18.5% had at least some Welsh language ability.〔http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=6503117&c=Johnston&d=14&e=62&g=6491685&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1361996529976&enc=1&dsFamilyId=2533〕〔http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=6176954&c=SA62+3QG&d=14&e=16&g=416058&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&r=0&s=1292424483218&enc=1&dsFamilyId=197〕 This is lower than the overall percentage for Pembokeshire and Wales, which are 19.2 and 19.0 respectively.〔http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=6503117&c=Johnston&d=14&e=62&g=6491685&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1361996529976&enc=1&dsFamilyId=2533〕 The village is just over 1 mile long〔http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=51.7561,-5.000153&spn=0.039635,0.077162&t=h&z=14〕 and almost a mile wide from the furthest main points.〔http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=51.755648,-4.994187&spn=0.019818,0.038581&t=h&z=15〕 == History == Johnston was founded as a small farming and mining〔http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/data_cube_page.jsp?data_theme=T_IND&data_cube=N_OCC_PAR1831&u_id=10105547&c_id=10001043&add=Y〕 village sometime before 1801 when 99 people lived in the village.
