This refers to Cethlenn, a figure in Irish mythology who may have been a goddess. Local legend has it that Cethlenn was wounded in battle by an arrow and attempted to swim across the River Erne, which surrounds the island, but she never reached the other side, so the island was named in reference to her. It has been anglicised many ways over the centuries – Iniskellen, Iniskellin, Iniskillin, Iniskillen, Inishkellen, Inishkellin, Inishkillin, Inishkillen and so on.[3] The town's oldest building is Enniskillen Castle, built by Hugh (Maguire) the Hospitable who died in 1428.[4] An earthwork, the Skonce on the shore of Lough Erne, may be the remains of an earlier motte. The castle was the stronghold of the junior branch of the Maguires.[5] The first watergate was built around 1580 by Cú Chonnacht Maguire, though subsequent lowering of the level of the lough has left it without water. The strategic position of the castle made its capture important for the English in 1593, to support their plans for the control of Ulster; this was achieved by a Captain Dowdall in February 1594. Maguire then laid siege to it, and defeated a relieving force at the Battle of the Ford of the Biscuits at Drumane Bridge on the Arney River. Although the defenders were relieved, Maguire gained possession of the castle from 1595 to 1598 and it was not finally captured by the English until 1607. This was part of a wider campaign to bring the province of Ulster under English control; the final capture of Enniskillen Castle in 1607 was followed by the Plantation of Ulster, during which the lands of the native Irish were seized and handed over to planters loyal to the English Crown. The Maguires were supplanted by William Cole, originally from Devon, who was appointed by James I to build an English settlement there. Captain Cole was installed as Constable and strengthened the castle wall and built a "fair house" on the old foundation as the centrepoint of the county town. The first Protestant parish church was erected on the hilltop in 1627. The Royal Free School of Fermanagh was moved onto the island in 1643. The first bridges were drawbridges; permanent bridges were not installed before 1688. By 1689 the town had grown significantly. During the conflict which resulted from the ousting of King James II by his Protestant rival, William III, Enniskillen and Derry were the focus of Williamite resistance in Ireland, including the nearby Battle of Newtownbutler.[6] Enniskillen and Derry were the two garrisons in Ulster that were not wholly loyal to James II, and it was the last town to fall before the siege of Derry. As a direct result of this conflict, Enniskillen developed not only as a market town but also as a garrison, which became home to two regiments. The current site of Fermanagh College (now part of the South West College) was the former Enniskillen Gaol. Many people were tried and hanged in the square during the times of public execution. Part of the old Gaol is still used by the college. Military historyEnniskillen is the site of the foundation of two British Army regiments:
The town's name (with the archaic spelling) continues to form part of the title to The Royal Irish Regiment (27th (Inniskilling) 83rd and 87th and Ulster Defence Regiment). Enniskillen Castle features on the cap badge of both regiments. The Troubles{{main|The Troubles in Enniskillen}}Enniskillen was the site of several events during The Troubles, the most notable being the Remembrance Day bombing in which 11 people were killed. Bill Clinton opened the Clinton centre in 2002 on the site of the bombing. The Provisional Irish Republican Army claimed responsibility for the attack. Miscellaneous
DemographyEnniskillen is classified as a medium town (i.e. with population between 10,000 and 18,000 people) by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).[8]{{rp|11}} 2011 CensusOn Census day (27 March 2011) there were 13,823 people living in Enniskillen (5,733 households), accounting for 0.76% of the NI total.[2] Of these:

ClimateAs throughout Britain and Ireland, Enniskillen experiences a maritime climate with cool summers and mild winters. The nearest official Met Office weather station for which online records are available is at Lough Navar Forest,[9] about {{convert|8+1/2|mi|0|abbr=on}} northwest of Enniskillen. Data has also more recently been collected from Enniskillen/St Angelo Airport, under {{convert|4|mi|0|abbr=on}} north of the town centre, which should in time give a more accurate representation of the climate of the Enniskillen area. The absolute maximum temperature is {{convert|29.8|C|F}}, recorded during July 2006.[10] In an 'average' year, the warmest day is {{convert|25.5|C|F}}[11] and only 2.4 days[12] a year should rise to {{convert|25.1|C|F}} or above. The respective absolute maximum for St Angelo is {{convert|29.4|C|F}}[13] The absolute minimum temperature is {{convert|-12.9|C|F}}, recorded during January 1984.[14] In an 'average' year, the coldest night should fall to {{convert|-8.2|C|F}}. Lough Navar is a frosty location, with some 76 air frosts recorded in a typical year.[14] It is likely that Enniskillen town centre is significantly less frosty than this. The absolute minimum at St Angelo is {{convert|-14.5|C|F}}, reported during the record cold month of December 2010.[14] The warmest month on record at St Angelo was August 1995 with a mean temperature of {{convert|18.8|C|F}}[15] (mean maximum {{convert|23.3|C|F}}, mean minimum {{convert|12.9|C|F}}, while the coldest month was December 2010, with a mean temperature of {{convert|-1.8|C|F}}[16] (mean maximum {{convert|2.9|C|F}}, mean minimum {{convert|-5.9|C|F}}. Rainfall is high, averaging over 1500 mm. 212 days of the year report at least 1 mm of precipitation, ranging from 15 days during April, May and June, to 20 days in October, November, December, January and March. The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfb" (Marine West Coast Climate/Oceanic climate).[17] {{Weather box|location = Lough Navar Forest 126m asl 1971–2000, extremes 1960– (Weather station {{convert|8.5|mi|0}} North West of Enniskillen)|metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan record high C = 13.0 |Feb record high C = 15.4 |Mar record high C = 20.0 |Apr record high C = 23.2 |May record high C = 26.1 |Jun record high C = 28.8 |Jul record high C = 29.8 |Aug record high C = 28.0 |Sep record high C = 23.2 |Oct record high C = 19.5 |Nov record high C = 16.8 |Dec record high C = 13.8 |year record high C = 29.8 |Jan high C = 6.4 |Feb high C = 7.0 |Mar high C = 8.9 |Apr high C = 11.5 |May high C = 14.5 |Jun high C = 16.6 |Jul high C = 18.3 |Aug high C = 18.1 |Sep high C = 15.6 |Oct high C = 12.2 |Nov high C = 8.8 |Dec high C = 7.0 |year high C = |Jan low C = 0.3 |Feb low C = 0.5 |Mar low C = 1.4 |Apr low C = 2.2 |May low C = 4.3 |Jun low C = 7.4 |Jul low C = 9.7 |Aug low C = 9.2 |Sep low C = 7.1 |Oct low C = 5.1 |Nov low C = 2.1 |Dec low C = 1.2 |year low C = |Jan record low C = -12.9 |Feb record low C = -10.5 |Mar record low C = -11.6 |Apr record low C = -7.3 |May record low C = -4.4 |Jun record low C = -2.4 |Jul record low C = 1.0 |Aug record low C = 0.2 |Sep record low C = -2.6 |Oct record low C = -7.2 |Nov record low C = -8.4 |Dec record low C = -12.8 |year record low C = -12.9 |Jan precipitation mm = 163.38 |Feb precipitation mm = 123.19 |Mar precipitation mm = 136.81 |Apr precipitation mm = 93.85 |May precipitation mm = 87.4 |Jun precipitation mm = 93.39 |Jul precipitation mm = 101.37 |Aug precipitation mm = 117.45 |Sep precipitation mm = 123.94 |Oct precipitation mm = 155.7 |Nov precipitation mm = 157.26 |Dec precipitation mm = 169.1 |year precipitation mm = |source 1 = YR.NO[18] |source 2 = Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute[19] |date=November 2014}} Places of interest

In October 1957 the Government of Northern Ireland closed the GNR line, which made it impossible for the SL&NCR continue and forced it also to close.[28] Rail – currentThe nearest railway station to Enniskillen is Sligo station which is served by trains to Dublin Connolly and is operated by Iarnród Éireann.

TwinningEnniskillen was originally twinned with Brackwede – a Bielefeld suburb – where the Inniskilling Dragoon Guards were stationed in the late 1950s when the twinning was initiated; however, this suburb was incorporated into Stadt Bielefeld in 1973, the city with which Enniskillen is now officially twinned.[30][31] Though the twinning arrangements are still operational, at a meeting of the Regeneration and Community Committee, in February 2018, it was agreed that the twinning arrangements would be formally terminated at the end of the Council term in June 2018. However, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council still have plans to send representatives to Brackwede for the 60th anniversary celebrations of the twinning. Therefore, the future of the twinning is now somewhat unclear.[32] See also
