Newtownards is a large town in Northern Ireland located east of Belfast. Sir Hugh Montgomery founded it in 1608 on a ruined Dominican monastery, which is known to locals as "Ards." The population was approximately 28,000 in the 2011 census.

History

St. Finian established Movilla Abbey, a monastery, on a hill overlooking Strangford Lough about 1-mile North-East of present-day Newtownards town center in 540 AD. Having granted the lands in 1605, Sir Montgomery set about rebuilding what was known as Newtown, which later expanded to Newtownards. The Market House in Newtownards, erected in 1770 and made Newtownards a market town, still operates today.
