In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Garrison like this:
GARRISON, a village, partly in the parish of INNISMACSAINT, and partly in that of DEVENISH, barony of MAGHERABOY, county of FERMANAGH, and province of ULSTER, 7 miles (W.) from Churchhill, on the road from Ballyshannon to Manorhamilton; containing 69 inhabitants. Here are a chapel of ease to the parish church of Devenish, a R. C. chapel, and a school. It is a constabulary police station, and fairs are held on May 21st, July 19th, Oct. 21st. and Dec. 21st, besides which fairs have lately been established every alternate month.
Garrison is now part of FERMANAGH AND OMAGH District. Click here for graphs and data of how FERMANAGH AND OMAGH has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Garrison itself, go to Statistics.
