Ballymena (en irlandés: An Baile Meánach; que quere dicir "Vila do medio")^[1] é unha vila de 30 000 habitantes de maioría protestante do condado de Antrim, Irlanda do Norte, no Reino Unido.

Historia

As primeiras referencias á rexión onde hoxe está a vila datan do século V: en 1576 a raíña Isabel I entregoulle a rexión a Thomas Smith, que levou colonos ingleses; pero fracasou e as terras reverteron á coroa. No século XVII a rexión pasou a William Adair, señor do suloeste de Escocia que construíu un castelo. En 1704 a poboación da vila de Ballymena era de 800 persoas. En 1740, queimouse o castelo e en 1765 fundouse un asentamento moravio. En 1834, Ballymena tiña 4 000 habitantes.
