In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Carmavy like this:
CARMAVY, a grange, in the parish of KILLEAD, barony of LOWER MASSAREENE, county of ANTRIM, and province of ULSTER, 6 miles (S. E.) from Antrim; the population is returned with the parish. This grange is situated upon the road from Belfast to Antrim: and comprises, according to the Ordnance survey, 789 ¼ statute acres.
Carmavy is now part of ANTRIM AND NEWTOWNABBEY District. Click here for graphs and data of how ANTRIM AND NEWTOWNABBEY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Carmavy itself, go to Statistics.
