History
Letterkenny got its name from the Gaelic
Irish "Leitir Ceannain" meaning "Hillside of
the O'Cannons. Letterkenny had grown into a prosperous market
town by the 17th century and is now the largest and most densely
populated town in Donegal.
The O'Canainn clan were the earlist recorded overlords of
the Swilly-side. They were first mentioned in history in 948
and their last cheiftain Rory O'Canainn, was slain in 1248
to be succeeded by Godfrey O'Donnell as king or Ri of Tir
Conaill. However it was not recognised as a town until the
Plantation of Ulster when the Fair-headed hillside was granted
to a scotsman named Patrick Crawford along with one thousand
acres of land between 1610 and 1611. |
He was killed at
the Seige of Dunyvegan in Isla, Scotland and sir George Maybury
married his widow. Sir George built a plantation, a market town
called Letterkenny which consisted of fifty thatched houses
thirteen of which had clay and stone walls. The main streets
were more pony tracks than streets.
