==Location and transport==
Terenure lies primarily in the administrative area of [[Dublin City Council]] but with parts falling in [[South Dublin]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Dublin City Council |title=The Council Explained, Your Area |url=https://www.dublincity.ie/council/council-explained/your-area |access-date=5 March 2021 |archive-date=25 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225165005/https://www.dublincity.ie/council/council-explained/your-area |url-status=live}}</ref> It is located south of [[Harold's Cross]] and north of [[Rathfarnham]], and also borders the suburbs of [[Templeogue]], [[Rathgar]], [[Kimmage]] and [[Perrystown]].

''Terenure Cross'' (Vaughan's Corner){{refn|group=notes|Named after Vaughan's [[public house]] at the northeast corner of the crossroads.}} was at one time a terminus for the [[Dublin tramways]], and is mentioned in [[James Joyce]]'s novel ''[[Ulysses (novel)|Ulysses]]'' (Episode 7, 'Aeolus'). There were three tram depots in Terenure at one time, the main tram depot for the number 15 [[Dublin United Transport Company]] (DUTC) trams on Terenure Road East, another DUTC depot for number 16 trams on Rathfarnham Road, and the terminus of the [[Dublin and Blessington Steam Tramway]] on Templeogue Road. The modern tram system — the [[Luas]] — does not serve Terenure, but the bus routes serving it still include routes numbered 15, 15a and 16.<ref>{{cite map |author=Dublin Bus |year=2005 |title=Core Route Map |url=https://www.dublinbus.ie/Global/Core_routes_interactive_map_October%202019.pdf |format=PDF |publisher=Transport for Ireland |access-date=5 March 2021 |archive-date=9 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210809113508/https://www.dublinbus.ie/Global/Core_routes_interactive_map_October%202019.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> These bus route numbers were originally allocated based on historic tram route numbers.

==History==
{{more references|section|date=January 2021}}
[[File:Fortfield House, Terenure.jpg|thumb|Fortfield House, Terenure]]Terenure, Drimnagh and Kimmage, then well to the south of the city of Dublin, were granted to the Barnewell family by [[John of England|King John]] in 1215.<ref>{{cite web |title=A History Of Presentation Terenure |url=https://presterenure.scoilnet.ie/blog/history/ |url-status=live |website=presterenure.scoilnet.ie |access-date=5 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171120215143/https://presterenure.scoilnet.ie/blog/history/ |archive-date=20 November 2017}}</ref> The Barnewells gave some of the land to St John The Baptist Hospital outside Newgate, and [[Cromwell]] confiscated the remainder from them. Following this Terenure passed through the hands of various owners, including what is now [[Terenure College]] (bought by the [[Carmelites]] in 1860). In the seventeenth century, the main landowners were the Deane family, whose most notable member was [[Joseph Deane]], [[Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer]]; his estates later passed to the Bourne family. Fortfield House was built around 1785 by a later Chief Baron, [[Barry Yelverton, 1st Viscount Avonmore]]. It was later owned by [[John Hatchell]], the [[Attorney General for Ireland]] and passed by inheritance to the Perrin family. It was demolished in 1934.

The earliest reference to these areas can be found in a grant (ref ''Grant CCA-DCc-ChAnt/C/1206'') stored in the Canterbury Cathedral Archives, by which King Henry II granted the lands Terenure and Kimmage (Cheming) in Rathfarnham to Walter the goldsmith ('aurifauber') in 1175. It has not yet been established how the lands reverted to the crown within 40 years.

On 2 January 1941, during [[World War II]], the German [[Luftwaffe]] [[Bombing of Dublin in World War II|bombed]] Terenure, injuring seven people and destroying two houses.<ref>{{cite news|last=Quigley|first=Capt.
