Condorrat now has many of its own facilities, including a health centre, 3 primary schools and a library.

The name Condorrat is from the Gaelic "Comh Dobhair Alt" - The joint river place.

The settlement pre-dates 1649, as Groome's Ordinance Gazetteer of Scotland states "The parish, containing also the village of Condorrat, was disjoined from Kirkintilloch in 1649, under the name of Easter Lenzie."

"[10] Condorrat was a weaving community, and some of the early single-storey houses still exist in the row known as Braehead Cottages, now much modernised.

At the west end of the town is Dalshannon Farm, which is a very good example of a long house of the 17th century.

Eventually, on 10 August 1835 an absolute pardon was granted to Baird and to the four local weavers who had been convicted and sentenced to transportation to the penal colonies.
