Glenamaddy
Glenamaddy () is a small town in County Galway, Ireland. It lies at the crossroads where the R362 and R364 regional roads meet.
Glenamaddy is the most important town in the northeastern corner of County Galway. It became the musical capital of Connacht during the 1960s when the Showband craze swept the country. To the east of the town lies Loch Lurgeen, a raised bog. The origins of the Parish (which was originally called Boyounagh) lie in the village of Boyounagh which lies to the North West of Glenamaddy Town.
==Name==
It has been argued for a long time what the exact meaning, and Irish for Glenamaddy is. Some say it is derived from the Irish ''Gleann na Madadh'', ''Gleann'' meaning valley and ''madhadh'' from ''madra'' meaning dog. This would suggest that the name means Valley of the Dogs. The suggested meaning for this being the shape of the Glenamaddy Turlough as looked at from above.
The other explanation that has been given is that the name comes from ''Gleann na Maighe Duibhí'' meaning Valley of the black plain, because of the lake (turlough) in the area which dries up every year leaving a black plain.
