Local library would be a good place to start, they will have copies of any books written about the area. Most County Councils have a heritage section on their website with often good info. Many of the sources mentioned in the Genealogy sub-forum are relevant to local history too, e.g. Griffiths Valuation on askaboutireland.ie.
