Broadford (Irish: Béal an Átha - "the mouth of the ford")[2] is a village in the west of County Limerick in Ireland. It is part of the Roman Catholic parish of Dromcollogher-Broadford. In the 2016 census, the resident population of Broadford village was 276, and the population of the Broadford electoral division was 960.[3]
According to records, the village is relatively new, and was first recorded by cartographers in 1837. Prior to its current name, it was known as "Killaliathan" or "Killagholehane".[4] This name derives from Killaliathan Church, located 1.6 km (1 mile) to the south, a medieval church now partially ruined.
