Croom is a small rural town in the south of Co. Limerick, just off the N20 Limerick - Cork Road. Situated on the Maigue River, the town has a significant archaeological history with a round tower dating back to the 12th century, Croom Castle, one of the principal residences of the Kildare branch of the Fitzgerald Dynasty, and a church from the 15th century. In the 1800s the town had an active mill industry on the Maigue River. In the mid 1800s a workhouse was built as a result of the Famine. This building is home to an orthopaedic hospital since 1924.
