Note: No town called Dangan is listed as being part of County Galway in 1851, there was a townland called Danganbeg, in Killererin Civil Parish and would seem to be that 'townland'

DANGAN, a post-town, in that part of the parish KILLERERAN which is in the barony of TYAQUIN, county of GALWAY, and province of CONNAUGHT, 23¼ miles (N;E.) from Galway City, and 91½ (W. by S..) from Dublin : the population is returned with the parish.

This small town, which contains only about 30 houses, is situated on the road from Tuam to Ballinasloe.
