Our History
Nolan's of Kilcullen was established in 1886. If we were watching “Reeling In The Years” to give you an indication of how long ago that was:
- Pharmacist Dr. John Styth Pemberton invents a carbonated beverage that would later be named "Coca-Cola".
- The Karl Benz Patent Motorwagen (or motorcar), patented in 1886, is widely regarded as the first automobile, that is, a vehicle designed to be propelled by a motor.
- The Statue of Liberty opened
- X-Ray Technology is invented
- But most importantly Nolan's of Kilcullen was established!
Nolan's Butchers was indeed established in 1886. Set up on the main street of a small village in Co.Kildare known as Kilcullen, the Nolan brothers who established the business had a progressive and enterprising outlook: they supplied the new Free State army for some years, and as early as the 1930s they put lamb carcasses on the London market.
