"CLONMEL, a parish and borough, market and assize town, chiefly in the barony of IFFA and OFFA-EAST, county of TIPPERARY, and province of MUNSTER, and partly in the barony of UPPERTHIRD, county of WATERFORD, 23 miles (W. by N.) from Waterford, and 82 miles (S. W. by S.) from Dublin; containing 20,035 inhabitants, of which number, 17,838 are in the town. This place, of which the origin is ascribed to a period prior to the invasion of the Danes, is supposed to have derived its name from Cluain-Meula, signifying in the Irish language the "plain of honey," in allusion either to the character of its situation and the peculiar richness of the soil, or to the valley in which it stands being bounded by picturesque mountains that afford honey of fine flavour. It appears to have been the capital of the palatine liberty, as it now is of the county of Tipperary; and is probably indebted for its early importance to the patronage of the Butler family."
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
