The Linen industry in Ireland was established in 1698 by Louis Crommellin, a French Huguenot; refugee who was appointed by William III to organise the entire linen industry.

 

The Huguenot Settlements in Ireland, by Grace Lawless Lee, 1936, ISBN: 0788420054

 

"by intermarriage with the Anglo-Irish population, and the Anglicization

of the French names, the settlements grew indistinct, and little now

remains to mark them"

 

"The most important settlement north of Dublin and perhaps the most

important in Ireland where that country is concerned, was established in

the ruined village of Lisnagarvey in 1698: other colonies, more or less

off shoots of this are to be found in Dundalk and Lurgan..."

 

Lurgan is marked on a map in the book a Huguenot weaving center.

Lurgan became known for Linen, according to the book linen and such were "unknown" in the north until

the French arrived.
