Dunmanway has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as testified by a Bronze Age trumpet in the British Museum.[8] 19th century references date the founding of Dunmanway to the late 17th century

On 28 November 1921, during the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921), seventeen British Auxiliary Division troops were killed by the Irish Republican Army at the Kilmichael Ambush (near Dunmanway). The subsequent sacking and burning of the city of Cork by the British forces is thought to be linked to the Kilmichael Ambush. On 15 December 1920, an Auxiliary shot dead the local priest, Canon Magner, for refusing to toll his church's bells on Armistice Day; a local boy, Tadhg Crowley, was also killed in an apparently random incident. There were numerous other actions in and around Dunmanway during https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunmanway
