In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Ballycor like this:
BALLYCOR, a parish, in the barony of UPPER ANTRIM, county of ANTRIM, and province of ULSTER, 1 mile (N. by E.) from Ballyclare: the population is returned with the parish of Ballyeaston. This parish, which is situated on the road from Broughshane to Larne, and is bounded on the north and east by the Six-mile-water, comprises 7330 statute acres, according to the Ordnance survey. ...
It is a rectory, in the diocese of Connor, and is partly one of the five parishes which constitute the union and corps of the prebend of Carncastle in the cathedral of Connor, and partly one of the two which form the perpetual curacy of Ballyeaston.
Ballycor 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 Ballycor itself, go to Statistics.
