History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Glanmire's history dates to Early Christian Ireland, with the nearby church site at Rathcooney in use since 1291. The stone bridge located in Riverstown dates to c.1760. At the parish church located on a hill above the village, Sarah Curran, lover of the hanged Robert Emmet, married Captain Henry Sturgeon in 1805.

In the 1800s Glanmire was a small yet industrialised village with woolen factories and mills lining the banks of the river Glashaboy.

The town expanded substantially in the late 20th century. Originally administered by Cork County Council, in 2019 Glanmire, as part of the boundary expansion of the city, was brought within the administrative area of Cork City Council.
