Lennoxtown (Scottish Gaelic: Baile na Leamhnachd, pronounced [ˈpalə nə ˈʎãũnəxk]) is a town in the East Dunbartonshire council area and the historic county of Stirlingshire, Scotland.

A significant event in the history of the locality was the establishment of the calico printing works at Lennoxmill during the late 1780s.

Calico was constructed during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to provide accommodation for the block makers and other cotton printing workers in the village of Lennoxtown.

Another important industry was soon established – a chemical works, founded by Charles Macintosh (of waterproof clothing fame) and his associates.

During the 1790s many of the Lennoxmill workers supported the political reformer Thomas Muir of Huntershill in his campaigns to establish democracy in Scotland.

Plans for the new church were prepared by the architect David Hamilton, who was also responsible for the nearby Lennox Castle.

It brought together the existing East Dunbartonshire Library, the NHS Clinic which contained a dental practice and GP consulting rooms, and the Housing office[6] in one building.

One of the oldest surviving branches of the Co-operative was demolished as part of the development after an attempt to have the building listed was unsuccessful.

The first 5+1⁄2 miles (9 kilometres) of this line, from Lenzie to Lennoxtown, were built by the Edinburgh and Glasgow railway under powers obtained in 1845 and was officially opened on 5 July 1848.

The railway was initially intended to serve the print fields at Lennoxtown but it eventually allowed passengers and provided this service as far as Aberfoyle.

There are educational facilities for the young Celtic Academy footballers at the ground and arrangements for them to attend St.Ninian's High School in Kirkintilloch.

Stuart Findlay was part of the initial intake of this scheme in 2009[11] before leaving Celtic and establishing himself as a professional with Kilmarnock.

The town's first senior association football club, Campsie Glen, entered the Scottish Cup for the first time in 1878–79.

[16] The town was well known in Scottish football circles as the home of Campsie Black Watch FC, an under-21 club founded in 1943 which launched the careers of many professional players[17] (Willie Garner, Eddie Gallagher, Johnny Walker, Frank Haffey, Mike Larnach, Jim Thomson).
