A town since 1875.
Paddyfest
The Kinsmen Club of Listowel started Paddyfest in 1977, and it has grown into the biggest event of the year in town. Held around St. Patrick's Day, it brings a parade, arm wrestling, live music and meals, and the money raised goes to local charities and community projects.
A railway town
Listowel was founded as Mapleton in 1852 and renamed for Listowel in Ireland in 1856. Two railways reached it in the 1870s, and it became an important shipping point, with a woollen mill, a flour mill and a furniture company.
The Lancaster fund
During the Second World War the people of Listowel raised $374,100 to buy a Lancaster bomber, which cost $350,000.
