About Kildare
Kildare is a town in County Kildare, situated about 50 km west of Dublin along the R445. It has a population of 10,302 as of the 2022 census, making it the seventh largest town in the county.
Despite lending its name to the county, Kildare is not the county town—that title belongs to Naas. However, Kildare holds significant historical and cultural value, being home to Kildare Cathedral and the early Christian abbey said to have been founded by Saint Brigid in the 5th century.
The town lies just west of the Curragh, a renowned open plain known for horse racing and military history. Kildare continues to thrive as a regional centre with both local charm and commuter convenience.
