In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Rashee like this:
RASHEE, a parish, in the barony of UPPER ANTRIM, county of ANTRIM, and province of ULSTER, 2 miles (N. W.) from Ballyclare, on the road from Larne to Broughshane: the population is returned with the parish of Ballyeaston. This parish comprises, according to the Ordnance survey, 6460 ½ statute acres. It is a rectory, in the diocese of Connor, one portion of it forming part of the union and corps of the prebend of Carncastle, and the remainder constituting part of the perpetual cure of Ballyeaston.—See BALLYEASTON and CARNCASTLE.
Rashee 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 Rashee itself, go to Statistics.
