History

In the Plantation of Ulster, the Haberdashers' Company were granted an estate of 36.1 sqmi. They made their ‘capital’ at Ballycastle or Ballycaslan, near Aghanloo, and a second settlement at Artikelly. Artikelly was the largest hamlet in the former Limavady Borough Council area, with a population of 360 in 2001.

People

William Porter (1805-1880) was born in Artikelly. He was called to the Bar in 1831, and in 1839, was appointed Attorney General at the Cape. He was offered a knighthood and Premiership of the Cape, both of which he declined. He endowed a university there and was its first chancellor. In 1873, he returned to Ireland. He died in Belfast.
