Canningstown [1] is a village in northeastern County Cavan, Ireland. It is located in the civil parish of Knockbride[1] on the R191 regional road, 12km (07miles) south of Cootehill and 10km (10miles) north of Bailieborough.
The area was originally known as New Bridge, but was renamed to Canningstown around 1850 by the then Lord Garvagh who had the surname "Canning".
