DROMARA occupies a small space in each of the baronies of Kinelarty, Upper Iveagh and Lower Iveagh, 5 miles, Irish, to the South-west of Ballynahinch, and 5 miles, Irish, to the South-east of Dromore. It contained a population of 221 in 1881, and is part of the Downshire estate. The Lagan runs beside the village. There is a market for butter and eggs every Tuesday, and fairs on the first Friday in February, May, August, and November; and first Friday after 15th March, June, September, and December. Evor MacRorye Magennis forfeited his title to Dromara in the war of 1641. The sub-post offices of Ballykeel, Gransha, Kinallon, and Waringsford are served with the mails from here.
