Mohill (Irish: Maothail,[2] meaning "soft ground") is a town in County Leitrim, Ireland.

Some sources and folklore say the shrine of Manchan was kept at the Monastery of Mohill-Manchan, before being moved to Lemanaghan in county Offaly for some unrecorded reason.

During the great famine, Anthony Trollope wrote a voyeuristic narrative on Mohill in his novel The Macdermots of Ballycloran, an early work.

[10] Back in 1925, Mohill town had population of 755 people, and contained 29 houses licensed to sell alcohol.

Mohill won the last of their five Senior Titles in 2006 defeating St. Marys by one point in a game which saw them complete a dramatic comeback.

McGarty had the distinction of playing for his county over four decades from 1949 to 1973, but his finest hour was in the 1958 Connacht Final, despite the heartbreaking defeat to Galway.

In fact, Gorvagh were the kingpins of Leitrim football in the 1920s and are the only team in the county to win four titles in a row between 1924 and 1928, when they were led by their inspirational captain Jack Bohan.

The top scorer on the Leitrim team in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s was Cathal Flynn who was born in Gorvagh and formed a lethal partnership with McGarty during this period.

In 1856 Slater's Directory described Mohill as a prosperous, thriving market town: "(Main Street) contains several good shops well-stocked with the various articles of fashion and of local requisites.

Great progress is manifest in its general appearance and of its size is considered one of the most stirring, and is certainly the most thriving town of any in the surrounding counties".
