Galway is a dynamic city, home to culture, and community vibrancy that is world-renowned. So here we go with some fun and interesting facts about Galway you probably never knew. Although its merits are many, and its claims to fame are numerous, there is also a wealth of lesser-known elements of this city worth noting.

Did you know that the River Corrib is a super-fast flowing river? Indeed, it runs at a whopping 9.8 feet (3 meters) per second. The River Corrib stretches 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) from Lough Corrib through Galway to Galway Bay and is listed as the second-fastest in all of Europe.

Galway has always been a vibrant city; this characteristic is certainly not a recent development. In fact, in medieval times, Galway was controlled by 14 merchant families, or ‘tribes’. This is where Galway earned its nickname: the ‘City of the Tribes’ or ‘Cathair na dTreabh’. These tribes included Athy, Blake, Bodkin, Browne, D’Arcy, Deane, Ffont, Ffrench, Joyce, Kirwan, Lynch, Martyn, Morriss, and Skerrett.
