LURGAN

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 129 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
LURGAN , a market -town of Co.
Armagh
 , Ireland, well situated on high ground overlooking Lough Neagh a few miles to the north; 20 m. S.W. of Belfast by the
Great
  Northern railway. Pop. (1901) 11,782. The parish
church
  of Shankill (this parish including Lurgan) has a finely proportioned tower. Contiguous to the town is Lurgan Castle, a fine
modern
  Elizabethan structure, the seat of Lord Lurgan. Lurgan is famed for its diapers, and the linen
trade
  is of the first importance, but there are also tobacco factories and coach factories. It is governed by an urban
district
 
council
 . Lurgan was founded by William Brownlow, to whom a grant of the town was made by James I. In 1619 it consisted of
forty
 -two houses, all inhabited by
English
  settlers. It was burned by the insurgents in 1641, and again by the troops of James II. After its restoration in 1690 a patent for a market and
fair
  was obtained.
