A research project into the history of Castlebar Town Council and its preceding authorities spanning four centuries is being undertaken by local man Noel Campbell. The project, with the working title A History of Castlebar Town Council - its predecessors, personalities and events, is a recording of the responsibilities of each authority, the various colourful people who sat on them and the local and national events that shaped them. The work begins in detail in the 1830s and will run up until the last local elections of 2009.
