As with all the counties of Ireland, Galway has a colourful and varied history. In fact, there is so much historical information that it would require a web-site of its own to cover every conceivable area of knowledge. For this reason in general we have made no attempt at following the county 'time-line' . We have however, included the 'time-line' history of Galway City. For the archaelologist, a glossary and short guide to some field monuments to be found in County Galway.
