About Edenderry

Edenderry is a metropolis in east County Offaly, Ireland. It is near the borders with Counties Kildare, Meath and Westmeath. The Grand Canal runs alongside the south of Edenderry, through the Bog of Allen, and there's a short spur to the city centre. The R401 road from Kinnegad to the north and the R402 from Enfield to the east meet on the northeastern stop of the Main Street. At the Grand Canal they cut up, with the R402 continuing westwards toward Tullamore and the R401 heads south to Rathangan and Kildare Town. In the 16th century, it had the call of Coolestown, after the circle of relatives of Cooley or Cowley, who had a fortress right here, defended in 1599 against the Earl of Tyrone's riot.

This sooner or later exceeded by means of marriage to the Blundell circle of relatives and became sacked in 1691 through the army of James II. The Blundells' land handed sooner or later to the Marquess of Downshire who reversed the sooner opposition of the Blundell sisters to the status quo of a branch to the Grand Canal to Edenderry and paid for the £692 cost of the challenge, which become finished in 1802. By 1716 there was thriving woollen cloth production, hooked up by means of Quakers, which hired round 1,000 human beings.By 1911 the metropolis had grown to two,204 people. Other industries included the manufacturing unit of Daniel Alesbury who made a selection of woodwork as well as the first car manufactured in Ireland, the Alesbury, in 1907.
