Arklow (from the Old Norse: Arnkell-lág "meadow of Arnkell"— called in Irish: An tInbhear Mór, meaning "The great estuary"), also known as Inbhear Dé from the Avonmore river's older name Abhainn Dé, is a historic town located in County Wicklow on the east coast of Ireland. Founded by the Vikings in the ninth century, Arklow was the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the 1798 rebellion. Arklow's proximity to Dublin and its consequent attractiveness to commuters has led to much recent expansion. It is now a thriving commuter town with a population of 11,759 at the 2006 census, making it the third largest town in the county.
