The town is situated on the northern side of the neck of the Dingle Peninsula.Tralee is the largest town in Kerry,with a steadily growing population. The town's population stood at 22,190 at the 2006 census. The Norman town was founded in the 13th century by Anglo-Normans and was a stronghold of the Earls of Desmond. A medieval castle and Dominican order Friary were located in the town. The mediaeval town was burnt in 1580 in retribution for the Desmond Rebellions against Elizabeth I.
