Place & story
Monivea in 1837
Samuel Lewis placed Monivea, which he called Monivae or Abbert, in Tiaquin barony. He recorded a Thursday market and fairs on 12 May and 12 October. Local education included a parochial school serving about seventy children and two private schools with about one hundred pupils between them. A national schoolhouse had just been completed. A dispensary and a penny post linking the settlement with Craughwell were further features of this nineteenth-century service centre. [2]
