Description

Population (2006) Athy (pronounced /əˈθaɪ/[1] – (Irish: Baile Átha Í , meaning "Town of the ford of Ae") is a market town situated at the convergence of the River Barrow and the Grand Canal in County Kildare, Ireland, 72 kilometers southwest of Dublin. Its population of 7,943 (2006 Census[2]) makes it the sixth largest town in Kildare and the 50th largest in the Republic of Ireland, with a growth rate of 31.3% since the 2002 census. The town is named after a second century chieftain Ae, who is said to have been killed on the river crossing, thus giving the town its name "the town by Ae's ford". From the first official records in 1813 (population 3,192) until 1891 (population 4,886) and again in 1926-46 and 1951-61 Athy was the largest town in Kildare. In 1837 the population was 4,494 [3].

Historical Features

Of the many church ruins in Athy, St. Michael's is perhaps the most ancient. It was built in the fourteenth century. Some of the vestry and sidewalls have disappeared, but there is still some of the original church remaining. The dedication to St. Michael is derived from the St. Michael family who were lords of Athy and it is quite probable that it was this family who were the founders of the church. White's Castle, a tower house built in 1417 by the Gerald FitzGerald, 8th Earl of Kildare is now a private residence, and is said to be opening soon for public visits under its new owner[citation needed]. There is a market house dating from around 1780 in the town square, where, in 1798 "the first wooden triangle was set up on which the United Irishmen were spreadeagled and flogged by the militia".[5] Athy was a host to the Gordon Bennet Cup race in 1903. This has also lead to the popular but unproven belief that it was the origin of British Racing Green colour for racecars. Seven kilometers south of Athy is Levitstown (originally Lyvetiston), a hamlet along the diverted River Barrow with Levitstown Mill and Levitstown House, a country house. The village was the location of a well-known skirmish in the early sixteenth century between the followers of the Earl of Ormonde and those of the FitzGeralds, the Earls of Kildare, in which 17 men and women were slaughtered.[6]

History

The town developed from a 12th century Anglo-Norman settlement to an important military outpost on the border of the Pale. The first town charter dates from the 16th century and the town hall was constructed in the early 18th century. The completion of the Grand Canal in 1791, linking here with the River Barrow, and the arrival of the railway in 1846, illustrate the importance of the town as a commercial centre. The town is twinned since 2003 with French town of Grandvilliers (département Oise-Picardy). The Athy twinning committee chairperson is Richard Daly, councillor and principal of the Community College. The French twinning committee is named "La Balad'Irlandaise" . The newly reelected town chairman of Grandvilliers is Jacques Larcher. Towns official visits are each two years. Colleges are organising once a year students exchanges. Musicians from Athy often go to Grandvilliers.
