In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Glenarm like this:
Glenarm, small seaport town, Tickmacrevan par., E. co. Antrim, beautifully situated on Glenarm Bay and at the mouth of Glenarm rivulet, 11 miles NW. of Larne, pop. 1276; P.O., T.O., 1 Bank. Owing to the attractive scenery there is a large influx of visitors during the summer months. The harbour is small; limestone and iron-ore are exported. In the vicinity is Glenarm Castle, seat of the Earl of Antrim.
Glenarm is now part of MID AND EAST ANTRIM District. Click here for graphs and data of how MID AND EAST ANTRIM has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Glenarm itself, go to Statistics.
