History
The name Roscommon is derived from Saint Coman, who built a monastery there in the fifth century. The woods near the monastery became known as Saint Coman's Wood, or Ros Comáin in Irish. This was later anglicised to Roscommon. This attractive and busy market town once had a hangwoman called Lady Betty, as well as a Dominican Friary, founded in 1253 by Felim O'Connor, King of Connacht (see abbeys and priories in Ireland). Roscommon Castle, built in 1269, is an Anglo-Norman fortress. Roscommon is situated 145 km (90 mi) west of Dublin and 75 km (47 mi) east of Galway and 32 km (20 mi) west of Athlone.
