To the west and south is Lough Mahon, part of Cork Harbour; across a channel to the east is Fota Island. HistoryThe parish of Little Island dates to the seventh century, and tidal mills have been excavated dating to c. 630 AD. By the fourteenth century the parish was known as De Insual, meaning "of the island". The current Church of Ireland parish church was built in 1865 in the Gothic Revival style.[2] A limestone quarry on Little Island was the source of thousands of tons of limestone annually, which were used in the construction of public buildings nationally, including Cork's City Hall and Holy Trinity Church.[2][3] DevelopmentA number of Cork's pharmaceutical companies are based on the island.[4] The main drainage wastewater treatment plant for Cork City was also opened in the area in 2004.[5] Since the 1990s, development has grown, with retail and commercial spaces opened at Little Island Business Park and East Gate Retail Park.[6] As of 2017, the Little Island Business Association reported that there were approximately one thousand businesses operating in the area.[7] Over seven thousand people were employed in the area, which was described as one of Ireland's "industrial powerhouses," as of April 2018.[8] Cork Golf Club is also based on Little Island.[9]TransportThe N25 Cork–Rosslare road is built on the infilled channel between Little Island and Glounthaune. The Cork–Cobh railway line skirts the island to the north and west. It includes Little Island railway station, which opened on 10 November 1859.[10] It has direct rail services to Cork, Cobh and Midleton. TownlandsTownlands of Little Island include Ballytrasna, Carrigrenan, Castleview, Courtstown, Harper's Island, Inchera and Wallingstown.[11]References1. ^{{cite web | title=An tOileán Beag | work=Placenames Database of Ireland | url=http://www.logainm.ie/651.aspx | accessdate=2014-10-20}} {{Cork Harbour |state=collapsed}}{{cork-geo-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite news |title= From old to new in Little Island |url= http://www.corkindependent.com/features/aroundthecounty/articles/2016/05/19/4120039-from-old-to-new--in-little-island/ |work= Cork Independent |date= 19 May 2016 |access-date= 24 May 2018 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160730100514/http://www.corkindependent.com/features/aroundthecounty/articles/2016/05/19/4120039-from-old-to-new--in-little-island/ |archive-date= 30 July 2016}} 3. ^{{cite book |last= Curtin-Kelly |first= Patricia |date= 2015 |title= An Ornament to the City: Holy Trinity Church & the Capuchin Order |location= Dublin |publisher= The History Press Ireland |page = 52|isbn= 978 1 84588 861 9}} 4. ^{{cite web|url = http://liba.ie/pharmaceutical.php | publisher = Little Island Business Association | title = LIBA Members Directory - Pharma | accessdate = 29 July 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url = https://irl.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/publicpurchase.asp?PID=62989&HL=0&PS=1&PP= | publisher = Office of Government Procurement | accessdate = 29 July 2017 | title = Carrigrennan Wastewater Treatment Works Upgrade - Consultant Contract Planning Stage }} 6. ^{{cite web|url = http://www.corkindependent.com/20131009/business/little-island-a-business-hub-S73553.html | publisher = Cork Independent | date = 9 October 2013 | title = Little Island a business hub}} 7. ^{{cite web|url = http://www.liba.ie/about-us.php | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20170125214437/http://www.liba.ie/about-us.php | archivedate = 25 January 2017 | title = About us | publisher = Little Island Business Association}} 8. ^{{cite news |last= O'Riordan |first= Sean |title= From old to new in Little Island |url= https://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/plans-to-tackle-little-island-gridlock-469294.html |work= Irish Examiner |date= 10 April 2018 |access-date= 24 May 2018 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180524123515/https://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/plans-to-tackle-little-island-gridlock-469294.html |archive-date= 24 May 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web|url = http://www.corkgolfclub.ie/contact-us/ | publisher = Cork Golf Club | title = Contact Us | accessdate = 29 July 2017 }} 10. ^{{cite web | title=Little Island station | work=Railscot - Irish Railways | url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | accessdate=2007-08-31}} 11. ^{{cite web | title=An tOileán Beag | work=Placenames Database of Ireland | url=http://www.logainm.ie/651.aspx | accessdate=2014-10-20}} 3 : Geography of County Cork|Former islands of Ireland|Civil parishes of County Cork |
