History & geography

History

The foundation of the town of Newmarket can be dated to the early 1600s, when King James I granted the lands which had formerly been held by the McAuliffe clan to the Aldworth family, with the right to hold a market there. The Aldworths remained at Newmarket until the 1920s: their family seat was Newmarket Court. The town was beginning to develop by 1620. Newmarket Train Station opened in 1889 as the line from Banteer to Newmarket was built at 8 miles long and had only one station at Kanturk. Due to the unprofitability of the line, it closed in February 1963. The station in Newmarket is still intact, and is now used as an office building for a local business.
