2025 Anciently, it was part of the Kingdom of Ui Failghe from which it gets its present name. The British began occupation in the thirteen century, but did not gain control until the sixteen century when it was named King’s County in 1547 in honor of King Philip II of Spain. Its name was changed to Offaly in 1920 and it became part of the Republic of Ireland on its formation in 1921.
Tullamore, the largest town in Offaly is the 30th largest in Ireland is a market town, urban district, and the seat of County Offaly, Ireland, situated on the River Tullamore. The High Cross is all that remains of Durrow Abbey, which once stood to the north of Tullamore.
The Book of Durrow, an illuminated manuscript of the four Gospels in Irish script, was written there about 700 and is now in Trinity College, Dublin. One of the earliest known settlements in County Offaly is at Boora Bog which dates to the Mesolithic era.
