HistoryAccording to Lewis in 1842, close to the village is a bridge of seven arches over the River Finn, connecting Clady with the County Donegal. Before the erection of this bridge, there was an important ford here, which was contested by kings William III and James II in 1688; and at the time of the Siege of Derry it was a strong post under Colonel Skeffington, who was driven from it by the Duke of Berwick, a short time before James II crossed the Finn at this place. The village is among one of the oldest in the district and was at one time an important bridging point across the Finn when access further down river across the great expanse of the River Foyle was largely dependent on ferry travel. Clady was also an important ecclesiastical centre, being the location for the first Roman Catholic seminary to be established in the Diocese of Derry.
