Ballybay (Irish: Béal Átha Beithe, meaning "mouth of the ford of the birch") is a town in County Monaghan, Ireland. It is centered on the crossroads of the R183 and R162 regional roads. The town grew up in the 18th century, gaining its prosperity from the linen industry founded by the Jackson family. The Town council (Ballybay Development Committee) was established around 1870. Later, on 1 January 1921, an Irish Republican Army ambush led by Stephen Wise killed one Royal Irish Constabulary man, one civilian and three Auxiliaries were wounded during the Irish War of Independence
