Ballincollig
has a rich and diverse history spanning centuries. It
is a history that McInerney Homes is proud to recognise
as they move their community values into this growing
area of Cork.
History
Much like the area itself, the history of Ballincollig
is a lively one. The Barrett family (after whom the
barony which contains Ballincollig is named) built Ballincollig
Castle during the reign of Edward III. The rebel county
stayed true to its name when in 1641 the castle was
taken from the Barretts by rebels, but the freedom fighters
were expelled in 1645 by English Parliamentary forces.
Ballincollig Castle became a garrison for James II in
1689 but after his defeat in the Williamite war in Ireland
it fell into decay.
Gunpowder
Mills
Out of the turmoil of royal war the Ballincollig Royal
Gunpowder Mills were opened in 1794 by prominent Cork
businessman, Charles Henry Leslie. Eleven years later
the Mills were bought by the British, who were preparing
for war with Napolean. By the end of the 1800s Ballincollig
was one of the largest industrial establishments in
Cork, employing hundreds of men from the area.
With the
closure of the Gunpowder Mills in the early 1900s, the
once thriving town of Ballincollig became little more
than a small village on the road from Cork City to the
larger market town of Macroom. Although the use of the
Murphy Barracks was a major source of employment, they
too were decommissioned after the Great War.
Re-Emergance
& Significant Growth
By the 1970’s Ballincollig re-emerged as a satellite
town with many new housing developments constructed
around the old village. This expansion continued through
the late 1980’s and accelerated in the 1990’s
with Ballincollig developing as more than just a commuter
community. The town’s centre expanded substantially
with significant growth in commercial, professional,
recreational and financial services.
Now Ballincollig
has regained its former glory and become a community
sought out by young professionals and families alike.
