[citation needed] The name Fedamore comes from the Irish Fiadh Damair or Feadaimir, meaning "the wood of Damar", referring to a local Gaelic chieftain.

[citation needed] Fedamore has a church, two national schools (at Fedamore and Carnane), one pub, a community hall, a Gaelic Athletic Association field and four housing estates: Cluain Ard, Castlequarter Heights, Ballyea Close and Clohessy Park.

Local organisations include a hall committee, Muintir na Tíre, and ICA guild, a pastoral council and a community alert scheme.

Fedamore GAA, the local Gaelic Athletic Association club, is primarily involved in hurling and has a pitch in Boolavoord.
