It was founded by the Vikings about 800 AD, besieged by the Normans about 1169 and was predominantly an English settlement during the Middle Ages.
A language known as ‘Yola’ was spoken in Wexford until it became extinct in the mid 19th century. To learn more about this you can visit the Yola Farmstead Folk Park.
