Ballinasloe
Ballinasloe ( ; ) is a town in the easternmost part of County Galway in Connacht. Located at an ancient crossing point on the River Suck, evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of Bronze Age sites. Built around a 12th-century castle, which defended the fording point, the modern town of Ballinasloe was "founded" in the early 13th century. As of the 2016 census, it was one of the largest towns in County Galway, with a population of 6,662 people. History The town developed as a crossing point on the River Suck, a tributary of the Shannon. The Irish placename – meaning the ''mouth of the ford of the crowds'' – reflects this purpose. The patron saint of Ballinasloe is Saint Grellan, whom tradition believes built the first church in the area. A local housing estate, a GAA club, the branch of Conradh na Gaeilge, and formerly a school are named after him. While there is evidence of more ancient settlement in the area (including crannog and ringfort si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
