Magherafelt has been recorded as a settlement since 1425, under the old name Teach Fiolta, but the town as it stands today was laid out during the 17th-century Plantation of Ulster.
The Diamond, at the centre of a Plantation town
Like many Plantation towns, Magherafelt was built around a central square — known locally as The Diamond — which still forms the heart of the town, with Broad Street running down from it towards the site of the medieval parish church.
A market town rather than a manufacturing one
Magherafelt has long served as a marketing centre for the surrounding countryside between the Sperrin Mountains and Lough Neagh, rather than growing a manufacturing or confectionery trade of its own — there's no historic sweet factory or market stall tradition here to speak of.
