LISBURN HISTORIC WALKING GUIDE
LISBURN HISTORIC WALKING GUIDE

The town was founded in the early 17th century and its name in Irish is Lios na gCearbhach or Lisnagarvey which means the 'fort of the gamester'.

The earliest reference to the word Lisburn is found in a baptismal entry of 11 January 1662. It has been suggested that Lisnagarvey was changed to Lisburn because the town was burned in the rebellion of 1641. Today, many local sport clubs still carry the town's original name.
