History
 
Comber, the adaptation of “Am Comer”, an Irish word meaning confluence gives the town its name. The confluence of two rivers, The Glen River and the Enler River which meet here on their way to Strangford Lough. There is believed to have been a church here since the time of St Patrick, while a Cistercian abbey was founded in around 1200 on the site of the present Church of Ireland church, a site likely chosen to take advantage of the good access to Strangford Lough.
 
Ashgrove occupies land that was originally used as the bleachers green for a flax spinning mill that helped make the town what it is today.
 
The Andrews family made the area a centre of linen production by the second half of the 1700’s. Comber is also famous for being the birthplace of Thomas Andrews (born in 1873), the RMS Titanic's shipbuilder, who died in the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.
 
The 20th century saw Comber lose much of its industry but re-establish itself as a commuter town for the Belfast urban area. The town still remains home to a number of independent and artisan stores and holds a farmer’s market on the first Thursday of every month.
