Kerrytown

Kerrytown is a small settlement in the Seadown riding of the Levels county. Its population at the census of 1901 was 156. The district is about ten miles from Timaru and Temuka respectively, and about three miles from Pleasant Point. It takes its name from the large number of old settlers who came originally from County Kerry, Ireland. There is no public school in the district, the educational wants of which are supplied by a well-equipped Roman Catholic school. Some years ago a large building was erected on a corner section for the purpose of a hotel, but no license was granted, though the building still (1903) stands.
