A Visitor's Guide to Sligo

About Sligo

Sligo's history spans over 5,000 years, from ancient prehistoric sites like the Carrowmore megalithic cemetery to its founding as an Anglo-Norman town in 1245 by Maurice Fitzgerald. The name "Sligo" comes from the Gaelic for "shelly place," reflecting its coastal location. Key historical periods include Norman control, Gaelic resurgence, and its role as a major port for emigration during the Great Famine, followed by 19th-century industrialization. The county is rich in archaeological sites and was immortalized in poetry by Nobel laureate W.B. Yeats
