The west side of Athlone forms part of County Roscommon while the larger east side lies in County Westmeath. The towns population was 15,936 as of 2004, slightly more than Mullingar's. Athlone sits near the geographical center of Ireland. Nearby are Moate on the road to Dublin, Ballinasloe on the road to Galway, and Tang on the road to Ballymahon, County Longford.

Athlone history

There is a castle at the heart of the town, (this is where the tourist office is located). Clonmacnoise, a famous monastic site with a round tower and spectacular Celtic crosses is just a short distance south of town on the banks of the Shannon. On the east side of town, off North Gate Street, is an intact example of the famine-era workhouses. The building, renamed St. Mary's Hall, now hosts several youth groups and includes a large meeting room. Within the site of the workhouse building is an historical abbey. The Siege of Athlone took place in the town. The Tenor John McCormack was born in Athlone.
