GeographyUpper Woods is located in northwest County Laois, bounded to the northwest by the Slieve Bloom Mountains. HistoryUpper Woods was part of the ancient Kingdom of Ossory (Osraige).[4] Around 1150 it was ruled by the Ua Dubhsláine (O'Delany) clan; the area was then called Tuath-an-Toraidh ("tuath [clan territory] of fruit/wealth/produce").[5] A member, Daniel Dulany the Elder (1685–1753), born in Upperwoods, became an important figure in colonial Maryland. It is referred to in the topographical poem Tuilleadh feasa ar Éirinn óigh (Giolla na Naomh Ó hUidhrín, d. 1420): ("The high chief of the fruitful cantred, Of the delightful Coill Uachtorach [Upper Woods], Is O'Dubhslaine, hospitable the man, From the mountain of most beauteous rivers.")[6][7][8] Upper Woods was formerly a part of the Upper Ossory barony, established by 1657; in 1842 it was divided into three cantreds: Upper Woods, Clandonagh and Clarmallagh.
