Bangor, in Irish Beannchor, is a seaside resort town in County Down, Northern Ireland. It lies to the South of Belfast Lough.
The origin of the name of Bangor town is much debated. As sea travel was of great importance to the area, the name Bangor may have come from the Irish for Bangor Bay’s headlands being “pointed like horns�. One of Bangor’s landmarks is Bangor Old Custom House.
Previously, the Annals of Ulster tell us that the monastery of Bangor was situated roughly where Bangor Abbey Church of Ireland currently stands at the head of the town. The abbey was founded by Saint Comgall in 555 or 559, and became one of Ireland’s most revered monasteries and centres for learning. In the 8th and 9th centuries however, it suffered greatly at the hands of Viking raiders. Celts, pre-Celtic peoples, Vikings, Normans, English, Scots have all passed through, settled in, worshipped in or fought over Bangor.
Bangor town was an important source of customs revenue for the crown. The 18th century, the harbour was developed and the cotton industries highly promoted, allowing Bangor to prosper and flourish. However, by the mid 19th century, the cotton mills were finished and the new Town Commissioners kick started further growth in Bangor. Water, drainage and lighting were improved, and in 1865 the new railway made Bangor a desirable seaside resort and home to the Victorian wealthy. Many of the houses built during that period overlooking Bangor Bay are now unfortunately having to make way for flats.
From the 1960s Bangor saw a decline in its popularity as a seaside holiday town. With cheaper holidays abroad and general cheaper travel, Bangor had to grow in different ways. It has since seen the construction of a Ring Road, Marina and many new retail and light industrial developments.
