HISTORY

Ballyclare lies on the Six Mile Water Valley and owes its origins to being a crossing point on the river.  The broad main street dates from the 17th century and in the towns picturesque centre is the market square and Town Hall.  Developed from the old Market House it is now the focal point for both locals and visitors.

Ballyclare has been a settlement area for over six thousand years, with historic flint arrow heads   dated to that era being discovered during a construction project North of the river in 1968.

When the Normans built the castle at Carrickfergus they placed a line of outposts along the river which was then called the “Ollar” – River of the Rushes.  In time the soldiers making the journey from Carrickfergus to Antrim reached the river at this spot when they had travelled six miles so began to call the Ollar the Six Mile Water.
