In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Galgorm like this:
GALGORM, a village, in the parish of AHOGHILL, barony of LOWER TOOME, county of ANTRIM, and province of ULSTER, 1 mile (W.) from Ballymena, on the river Maine; containing 37 houses and 226 inhabitants. The castle of Galgorm, built by the celebrated Dr. Colville, is a handsome square embattled structure, now the seat of the Earl of Mountcashel: the whole of the rooms are wainscoted with Irish oak.
Galgorm is now part of MID AND EAST ANTRIM District. Click here for graphs and data of how MID AND EAST ANTRIM has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Galgorm itself, go to Statistics.
