History
In August 1841 the village was the centre of the agitation movement against Robert Peel's government when the "cabinet council" was convened at Fitzsimon's seat. Attendees included Viscount Morpeth and Frederick Romilly. During the Fenian Insurrection of 1867, the nine policemen of Glencullen barracks surrendered to the Irish Republic.
