BALLYMENA

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 283 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALLYMENA , a town of Co. Antrim, Ireland, in the mid parliamentary division, on the Braid, an affluent of the
Maine
 , 2 M. above their junction. Pop. of urban
district
  (,co,) 10,886. It is 33 M. N.N.W. of Belfast on the Northern Counties (Midland) railway. Branch lines run to Larne and to Parkmore on the
east
 
coast
 . The town owes its prosperity chiefly to its linen
trade
 , introduced in 1733, which gives employment to the greater
part
  of the inhabitants. Brown linen is a specialty. Iron ore is raised in the neighbourhood. Antiquities in the
neighbour
 -hood are few and the present buildings of Ballymena Castle and Galgorm Castle are
modern
 . Gracehill, however, a Moravian
settlement
 , was founded in 1746.
