GALWAY is the capital of the West of Ireland, a thriving modern city with a University, Regional Technical College, Shipping Port and Airport. With a festival to cover everything from the traditional music to horseracing, Galway is a uniquely cosmopolitan city with something for everyone. It has also recently become an important centre for promoting the Arts and Culture. Although it has recently been classed as Europe's fasting growing city, it still manages to retain much of its old world Medieval charm.
The origin of the place named "Galway" ('Gaillimh' in Irish) is uncertain with many suggested origins, based on both historical facts or folklore. It is known however that among the ancient Irish, foreigners were called 'na Gall', hence the suggestion that Gaillimh was "the place of the foreigners'. The term may have derived its name from the Anglo-Norman settlement founded by the de Burgos in the 13th Century beside a ford on the River Corrib.
