This article does seem rather one-sided and somewhat badly written. No?

"Gaelic"

[edit]

The name in Irish above the map points to Scottish Gaelic instead of Irish language. This seems to be a larger problem with the UK place info box. Does anyone know if it can be changed in this article and/or the UK place info box template? Of course, the name may well be Aontroim in Scottish Gaelic too, but that's beside the point.--Dub8lad1 19:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Gaelic name for Antrim was original recorded as Aontreibh in early times, the name losely translates as 'one/single house/dwelling', it has been dispute that the term treibh is related to Welsh word of 'Tref' meaning a town, possible brought over when the Cambrian Knights led by Sir Richard of Pembroke arrived in Ireland in the 1100's. The present name of Aontroim was adopted as the settlement grew and gained status, eventully becoming the prominent town to wich the new county was named after. Aontroim is a joining of the terms aon 'one/single' and droim 'ridge'.

Old recordings of Irish Gaelic spoken in the Co. Antrim replaces the standard 't' with a 'd' to give 'Aondroim'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.168.121 (talk) 05:12, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Muckamore

[edit]

What is the status of Muckamore ? Roadsigns and Postal addresses appear to indicate that it is a town in its own right (albeit with no identifiable centre) however nowadays to all intents and purposes it seems to be part of Antrim town. Does the 20,000 population figure for Antrim include Muckamore ? 80.229.222.48 16:52, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Muckamore was a village on the outside the town of Antrim, thought the towns expansion has lead to Muckamore being shallowed and becoming a suburb of Antrim town.

– The town and by extension the county, borough and football club ect get over 10000 views compared to less than 400 for the other topics called "Antrim" [[1]]. The others appear to all be named after the town (or the county, which is named after the town). The town has a population of 20,001, and the county-618,108. While Antrim, New Hampshire only has 2,637 (the others don't have stated populations). Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:06, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Town?

[edit]

Legally designated in 1966, but in fact an old residential site, an “English settlement” in 159x, and so on, shall we include because of the modern re-org? SeoR (talk) 10:08, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
