Greenock History
Greenock is a coastal town located in the Inverclyde council area of Scotland, United Kingdom. The town has a rich history that dates back over a thousand years.
Greenock was first mentioned in historical records in the 12th century, when it was part of the lands owned by the abbey of Paisley. During the medieval period, the town grew as a trading hub, thanks to its location on the River Clyde, which provided easy access to the sea.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Greenock became a major center for shipbuilding and marine engineering, which helped fuel the town's economic growth. Many famous ships were built in Greenock, including the Cutty Sark, which was launched in 1869.
