Beginnings
Originally a small Fishing Village, Greenock is estimated to be founded around 1592 once it had gone it's separate ways from the Inverkip Parish.
The Shaw family had a big influence in guiding Greenock and moulding it into the town where people live today.
In 1635 John Shaw had obtained a Chapter. This was followed by King Charles 1st granting Greenock the rights and privilages of a Burgh of Barony. In the following years a Burgh Reform Act (1833) was established.
The town continued to be known as a Burgh until 1975. This year signifying the day in which Greenock became part of the district of Inverclyde within the region of Strathclyde.
