BALLYCLARE, a market-town and post-town, partly in the parish of BALLYNURE, but chiefly in that of BALLYEASTON, barony of LOWER-BELFAST, county of ANTRIM, and province of ULSTER, 93½ miles (N.) from Dublin; containing 824 inhabitants. This place is situated close to the Six-mile-water, and at the extremity of the mail coach road, which branches off from that between Belfast and Antrim. The town, which is neatly built, contains about 180 houses, and is noted for its monthly linen market, and for its horse fairs, which are held on May 24th, July 19th, Aug. 23rd, and Nov. 22nd.
There are places of worship for Presbyterians and Wesleyan Methodists, the former in connection with the presbytery of Antrim, and of the second class.
from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837.

Ballyclare is a town and also the name of a townland surrounding the town. Whilst the town was historically on the north bank of the river in Doagh Grange civil parish, the townland actually straddles the Six Mile Water, with 1013 acres on the north bank of the river, but with 209 acres are on the south bank (and so in Ballynure civil parish).
