Duleek
The town of Duleek (or Damhliag in Irish meaning 'stone house') is located near the Meath-Louth border and sits on the River Nanny. Duleek first began as a monastic Christian settlement, as early as 450AD when St. Patrick established a bishopric (the diocese of a bishop) there. The care of the bishopric was then given to a follower of St. Patrick, called St. Cianan in 489AD. Duleek is known locally as a place of religious importance, emphasized by the presence of many Celtic high-crosses throughout the town and town-land.
Few people know that on January 1st 1941 during World War II, the town of Duleek was bombed by German Luftwaffe aircraft. Five bombs were dropped on Duleek that night and two on the nearby village of Julianstown, with no casualties.
