about Cavan

Cavan (Irish: An Cabhán meaning a hollow) is the main town and administrative centre of County Cavan, Republic of Ireland. The town lies in the border area of Ireland, north of the midlands. The N3 road connects the town to Dublin.

Cavan history

The O'Reilly family (still a very common surname in the area) established a castle in the town in the late 13th century. A Franciscan monastery was also established at around the same time. In the 15th century the local ruler, Bearded Owen O'Reilly, set up a market which attracted merchants from Dublin and Drogheda. In 1610 the English king James I granted the town a charter. In the early 19th century the Lords Farnham, a local landlord family, built a new, wide street, that still bears their name. This was lined with comfortable town houses, public buildings (such as the Court house which dates from 1825) and churches.

In the late 19th century Cavan became an important rail junction between the midland and western lines and those of the Northern Railways. The Town Hall was built in 1909. In 1938 work began on the Cathedral of Saints Patrick and Felim. Three miles west of Cavan town is Kilmore Cathedral. The church contains a Romanesque doorway dating from the 12th century. Farnham House to the northwest of Cavan town is one of the largest houses in Co. Cavan. It is believed to have been built in 1810 and designed by Francis Johnston a Dublin architect. It is still owned by the Farnham family.
