This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

The town is on the northern side of the neck of the [[Dingle Peninsula]], and is the largest town in County Kerry. The town's population was 26,079 as of the [[2022 census of Ireland|2022 census]], making it the [[List of urban areas in the Republic of Ireland by population|15th largest urban settlement]] in Ireland.

==History==
[[File:Croppy boy.jpg|thumb|left|180px|1798 Pikeman Monument]]
Situated at the confluence of some small rivers and adjacent to marshy ground at the head of [[Tralee Bay]], Tralee is located at the base of an ancient roadway that heads south over the [[Slieve Mish Mountains]]. On this old track is located a large boulder sometimes called [[Scotia's Grave]], reputedly the burial place of an ancient queen.<ref>Maeve ''Here Lies: A Guide to Irish Graves'' Poolbeg, 1997 ((ISBN|1-85371-713-4)) p.&nbsp;156</ref>

Anglo-Normans founded the town in the 13th century, which became a stronghold of the [[Earl of Desmond|Earls of Desmond]], who built [[Tralee Castle]]. John Fitz-Thomas FitzGerald founded the monastery of the [[Dominican order]] and was buried there in 1260.<ref name="ReferenceA">Genealogical and Family History of Northern New York</ref> The medieval town was burnt in 1580 in retribution for the [[Desmond Rebellions]] against [[Elizabeth I of England|Elizabeth I]].

Elizabeth I in 1587 granted Tralee to [[Sir Edward Denny, Knight Banneret of Bishops Stortford|Edward Denny]] and it was recognised in 1613 by [[Royal Charter]]. Sir Edward was the first of the Dennys to settle in Tralee; the Dennys did not occupy the castle of the Earls of Desmond until 1627 but lived instead at Carrignafeela Castle. Sir Edward's son was Arthur Denny, in whose lifetime the town's charter was granted by King James, containing the right to elect two members of parliament. The third English settler, another [[Edward Denny (1605–1646)|Sir Edward]], married Ruth Roper, whose father Thomas Roper was the lease holder of the Herbert estate centred on Castleisland. This Sir Edward was a royalist. He fought for the King in the wars of 1641. He died in 1646, before the triumph of [[Oliver Cromwell]] over affairs in England and Ireland.

He granted "the circuit of the Abbey" to the corporation set up under the charter, in return for the fees of the town clerk. His son [[Arthur Denny (1629–1673)|Arthur Denny]] married Ellen Barry, granddaughter of [[Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork]]. The latter held many land titles in West Kerry and also claimed property in Tralee. [[Sir Edward Denny, 4th Baronet]] was a notable landlord in his day: during the time of the [[Great Famine (Ireland)|Great Famine]], he maintained rents to suit his tenants, when other landowners increased them. He was a notable [[Plymouth Brethren|Plymouth Brother]].

The modern layout of Tralee was created in the 19th century. Denny Street, a wide [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] street, was completed in 1826 on the site of the old castle. A monument commemorating the [[Irish Rebellion of 1798|1798 rebellion]] plus the rebellions of [[Irish Rebellion of 1803|1803]], [[Irish Rebellion of 1848|1848]] and [[Irish Rebellion of 1867|1867]]  – a statue of a [[Pikeman]] – stands in Denny Street. First unveiled in 1905, the original Pikeman stood until the [[Irish War of Independence]]. In 1921 the [[Black and Tans]] dragged it from its pedestal and destroyed it. In June 1939 a replacement Pikeman was installed, created by renowned Dublin sculptor [[Albert Power (sculptor)|Albert Power]] and unveiled by [[Maud Gonne]].<ref>((cite magazine|url=http://www.historyireland.com/18th-19th-century-history/the-pikeman-of-tralee-a-tale-of-continuity-and-change/|title=The Pikeman of Tralee: A Tale of Continuity and Change|magazine=[[History Ireland]]|year=1998|issue=2|volume=6|access-date=19 January 2014|archive-date=1 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201172851/http://www.historyireland.com/18th-19th-century-history/the-pikeman-of-tralee-a-tale-of-continuity-and-change/|url-status=live))</ref>

[[File:Tralee Ship Canal, Blennerville - geograph.org.uk - 521336.jpg|thumb|right|220px|[[Tralee Ship Canal]]]]
The [[Tralee Ship Canal]] was built to accommodate larger ships sailing into Tralee, as the existing quay in [[Blennerville]] was becoming blocked due to [[silting]]. The [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] authorised an [[Act of Parliament]] in June 1829 for the canal, with work beginning in 1832. Issues with funding meant that the canal was not completed until 1846 when it was opened. The canal was 2 miles long with a new [[canal basin]] built in Tralee, and [[lock gates]] and a wooden [[swing bridge]] constructed in Blennerville. However, not long after the canal opened, it too began to suffer from silting.

By the 1880s, [[Fenit]] Harbour was built as a deepwater harbour; it did not suffer from silting. A railway line was constructed between the harbour and Tralee to carry cargo and freight from ships moored there. The canal fell into disuse and neglect, and was finally closed by the mid-20th century. Following the restoration of [[Blennerville Windmill]] in the early 1990s, local authorities planned restoration of the canal for use as a tourist attraction. In 1999 the [[Office of Public Works]] (OPW) started a restoration project of the canal at a cost of IR£650,000. The basin area of the canal was subsequently redeveloped with apartments blocks built as part of a proposed marina. The [[towpath]] along the canal was upgraded and is now used by people as an enjoyable amenity as part of the [[Dingle Way]].<ref>((cite web| url = http://www.focuskerry.com/james/canal.html| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20010312211021/http://www.focuskerry.com/james/canal.html| archive-date = 2001-03-12| title = Blennerville to Tralee Canal & Marina - County Kerry, Ireland)) ((Cite web |url=http://www.focuskerry.com/james/canal.html |title=Blennerville to Tralee Canal & Marina - County Kerry, Ireland |access-date=7 December 2013 |archive-date=12 July 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120712124456/http://www.focuskerry.com/james/canal.html |url-status=bot: unknown ))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.askaboutireland.ie/learning-zone/primary-students/looking-at-places/kerry/kerry-transport/tralee-ship-canal/|title=Tralee Ship Canal|access-date=7 December 2013|archive-date=18 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131218150325/http://www.askaboutireland.ie/learning-zone/primary-students/looking-at-places/kerry/kerry-transport/tralee-ship-canal/|url-status=live))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://debates.oireachtas.ie/dail/1999/01/27/00439.asp|title=Find a Debate – Houses of the Oireachtas|access-date=7 December 2013|archive-date=12 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212012212/http://debates.oireachtas.ie/dail/1999/01/27/00439.asp|url-status=live))</ref>

The Dominican church of the Holy Cross was designed by the Irish Gothic Revival architect [[George Ashlin]] in 1866 and built by 1871.

===War of Independence and Civil War===
[[File:The Mall, Tralee, Co.Kerry (5691334289).jpg|thumb|left|220px|The Mall in the early 1900s]]
Tralee saw much violence during the [[Irish War of Independence]] and [[Irish Civil War]] in 1919–1923. In November 1920, the [[Black and Tans]] [[Siege of Tralee|besieged Tralee]] in revenge for the [[Irish Republican Army]] (IRA) abduction and killing of two [[Royal Irish Constabulary]] (RIC) men. The Tans closed all the businesses in the town and did not let any food in for a week. They burned several houses and all businesses connected with IRA activists. In the course of the week, they shot dead three local people. The events caused a major international outcry as the press reported that near-famine conditions were prevailing in Tralee by the end of the week.

In August 1922 during the Irish Civil War, [[Irish Free State]] troops landed at nearby [[Fenit]] and took Tralee from its Anti-Treaty garrison. Nine pro-Treaty and three anti-Treaty soldiers were killed in fighting in the town before the anti-Treaty forces withdrew. The Republicans continued a guerrilla campaign in the surrounding area. In March 1923 Free State troops took nine anti-treaty IRA prisoners from the prison in Tralee and blew them up with a [[land mine]] at nearby [[Ballyseedy]]. Only [[Stephen Fuller]], a future Irish politician, survived the explosion.<ref name="irishtimes.com">((cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/stories-of-the-revolution-ballyseedy-and-the-civil-war-s-worst-atrocity-1.2462070|title=Stories of the revolution: Ballyseedy and the Civil War's worst atrocity|newspaper=[[The Irish Times]] |accessdate=21 September 2017))</ref>

[[File:Ashe memorial hall.jpg|thumb|Ashe Memorial Hall]]
The Ashe Memorial Hall was built in 1928 at the end of Denny Street; it is dedicated to the memory of [[Thomas Ashe]], an [[Irish Volunteers]] officer in the [[Easter Rising]] of 1916. The building is built of local sandstone. It housed the headquarters of [[Kerry County Council]] and Tralee Urban District Council; both now have moved to other premises. Since 1992 it has housed the [[Kerry County Museum]], which includes a reconstruction of Tralee as of 1450, prior to colonisation.

==Climate==
The climate of Tralee is, like the rest of Ireland, classified as a [[maritime climate|maritime temperate climate]] (''Cfb'') according to the [[Köppen climate classification]] system. Met Éireann maintains a climatological weather station at [[Valentia Island]], 50&nbsp;km south-west of the town. It is mild and changeable with abundant rainfall and a lack of temperature extremes. The hottest months of the year are July, August, and September with temperatures of around 17 – 18 degrees Celsius. Tralee gets rainfall all year round and the wettest months are October, November, December, and January.

==Local government==
Tralee had a [[town council (Ireland)|town council]] with twelve members until the [[2014 Irish local elections|2014 local elections]] were held on 23 May 2014. These elections were held following the changes effected by the [[Local Government Reform Act 2014]]. County Kerry is divided into six [[local electoral area]]s (LEA) for elections to [[Kerry County Council]]. The members elected for the Tralee LEA sit as the Tralee Municipal District.

==Rose of Tralee==
((See also|Rose of Tralee (festival)|The Rose of Tralee (song)))
The Rose of Tralee festival is an international competition that is celebrated among Irish communities all over the world. The festival, held annually in August since 1959, takes its inspiration from a nineteenth-century ballad of the same name about a woman called Mary, who because of her beauty was called The Rose of Tralee. The contest, broadcast over two nights by [[RTÉ]], is one of the highest-viewed shows on Irish television with over a million people watching.

To commemorate the Rose of Tralee tradition, the Rose Garden in the Tralee Town Park is home to a life-size bronze statue depicting the original Rose of Tralee Mary O'Connor and the author of the Rose of Tralee ballad William Pembroke Mulchinock sculpted by an Irish sculptor [[Jeanne Rynhart]] (unveiled in 2009),<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/regionals/kerryman/news/unveiling-of-statue-at-town-park-27386239.html|title=Unveiling of statue at Town Park|newspaper=[[The Kerryman]]|date=19 August 2009|access-date=9 November 2014|archive-date=9 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141109210350/http://www.independent.ie/regionals/kerryman/news/unveiling-of-statue-at-town-park-27386239.html|url-status=live))</ref> as well as the Rose Wall of Honour – a series of glass panels that will contain the name of every Rose who has participated in the Festival since 1959 (unveiled in 2013 on the 55th anniversary of the Rose of Tralee International Festival). Both statues were commissioned by Tralee Town Council.
