Ballybogy, or Ballybogey, is a small village and townland in the north-west of County Antrim, and which is to be found four miles north of Ballymoney and four miles east of Coleraine. It is known as Boggie in Scots.[1]
The village had a recorded population of 539 (in 209 households) at the 2011 Census.
Features
Ballybogy developed from a crossroads cluster at the junction of the Ballybogy, Benvardin and Ballindreen Roads. In the 1950s and 1960s this small nucleus was greatly enlarged with the provision of public sector housing, supplemented by new private housing development to the south and west of the village.
