ATHY (pronounced Athy) , a market-town of Co. Kildare, Ireland, in the
south
  parliamentary division, 45 M. S.W. of Dublin on a branch of the
Great
  Southern & Western railway. Pop. of urban
district
  (19o1) 3599. It is intersected by the river Barrow, which is here crossed by a
bridge
  of five
arches
 . The crossing of the river here was guarded and disputed from the earliest times, and', the name of the town is derived from a king of Munster killed here in the 2nd century. There are picturesque remains of Woodstock Castle of the 12th or 13th century, and White Castle built in 15o6, and rebuilt in 1575 by a member of the family whose name it bears, and still occupied. Both were erected to defend the ford of the Barrow. There are also an old town gate, and an ancient cemetery with slight monastic remains. Previous to the Union Athy returned two members to the Irish
parliament
 . The
trade
 , chiefly in
grain
 , is aided by excellent water communication, by a branch of the Grand Canal to Dublin, and by the river Barrow, navigable from here to
Waterford
  harbour.
