Dromod ({{Irish place name|Dromad|long ridge, or back of the wood}}){{sfn|Joyce|1913|pp=331,336}} is a village in County Leitrim, Ireland. Dromod is a noted fishing village beside Bofin and Boderg, which are threaded by the River Shannon. Built along the River Shannon, this is a Tidy Towns winner with a modern harbour frequented by cruiser traffic. The Bog Oak water feature in the centre of the village, entitled 'The Weeping Tree', and was made by a local craftsman from a piece of bog oak which was found nearby.

The village has a station on the Dublin-Sligo railway line connecting Sligo and Dublin Connolly long the mainline. Dromod railway station opened on 3 December 1862 and remains in operation, despite closing for goods services on 3 November 1975.[2] Dromod also had a railway station on the narrow gauge Cavan and Leitrim Railway. It opened on 24 October 1887 and finally closed on 1 April 1959.[2] A short section of narrow gauge line has been reopened at the station as part of preservation efforts.

History

In Gaelic Ireland the place was called "Dromode mac Shanley" in recognition of the dominant Mac Shanly sept of Muintir Eolais.{{sfn|Downs Survey|1641}} The town is mentioned once in the Irish Annals- "{{em|1473: A great war broke out in Muintir-Eolais; and much was destroyed between them, both by burning and slaying. An attack was made by Mac Rannall on the town of Mac Shanly, and the town was burned, and Donough, the son of Donough Mac Shanly, and many others, were slain by him}}".{{sfn|AFM|pp=M1473.19}}

An Iron works was established at Dromod {{circa|1693|95}}.{{efn|Iron works at Dromod and Ballinamore, on land confiscated from the Irish during the plantations of Ireland, had been established around 1695, by english adventurers named Capt. William Slacke, John Skerret, and Joseph Hall.{{sfn|Kelly|1995|pp=1-12}}|name=irishName}} Pig iron brought to Dromod Finery forge was used to produce an malleable iron product, for transportation to Dublin and Limerick.{{sfn|Meehan|1926|pp=413}}{{sfn|Buchan|1860|pp=12}}{{sfn|John Murray|1886|p=155}} The operation was closed down in the 1790s, due to an exhaustion of forests locally.{{sfn|Kelly|1995|pp=1-12}}
