609. TuamTuam gets its name from the Tumulus - a bronze age burial ground - on which the town is built. It was established in the 5th century when St Jarlath founded a monastery here, stopping when a wheel broke on his chariot. The O'Connor Kings, Turlough and Ruari, lived here In the 11th century. Turlough built a castle and an abbey which later became a cathedral. All that remains is part of the wall of their castle, a stone throne known as the chair of Tuam, and the O'Connor name. Attacked several times in the 16th and 17th centuries, the town has stood up to the ravages of time. Services in Tuam Bed & Breakfasts | Hotels | Car Rental | Vacation Packages | |

610. WilliamstownWilliamstown is not really large enough to be a town but is a substantial village and is situated a little over half way between Dunmore and Ballymore in North Galway. Few other places will boast of such a strange beginning because it was founded in the last century by William McDermott, a local landlord, just to spite a rival who tried to establish another town close by! All is quiet in Williamstown now, as the era of the landlord is long over and the other town failed to survive. Services in Williamstown Car Rental | Vacation Packages
