Etymology
Gaultier barony is derived from the Irish for "land of the foreigners" — specifically, the Vikings, who settled here when they were expelled from Waterford City by the Cambro-Norman and English invaders in the later 12th century.{{cite book | url=https://www.logainm.ie/Eolas/Data/InternetArchive/logainm.ie-the-place-names-of-decies.pdf | title=The Place Names of Decies | first=P. | last=Power | publisher=David Nutt | location=London | year=1907 | via=logainm.ie | accessdate=30 December 2020}}
Geography
Gaultier is located in eastern County Waterford, between Tramore Bay and Waterford Harbour. It contained the parish of Kilculliheen until 1872, when that area was transferred to County Kilkenny.
History
Gaultier, as stated above, was a settlement of Vikings expelled from Waterford city. They established a "Cantred of the Danes" or "Ostmanstowns of Waterford" in 1384.
After the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Gaultier was granted to the Lymbery family, and they were for generations landlords and Church of Ireland clergymen in the region.{{cite web|url=http://landedestates.nuigalway.ie/LandedEstates/jsp/estate-show.jsp?id=3668|title=Estate Record: Lymbery|website=landedestates.nuigalway.ie}} Other important families were Anthony, Brunnock, Comerford, Everard, Grant, Jackson, Mandeville, Sherlock, Wadding and Wyse.{{Cite web|title=The Baronies of Ireland - Family History|url=http://sites.rootsweb.com/~irlkik/ihm/baronie4.htm|access-date=2021-08-04|website=sites.rootsweb.com|archive-date=6 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190606154830/http://sites.rootsweb.com/~irlkik/ihm/baronie4.htm|url-status=dead}}
The barony was established by 1672.{{cite book|url=http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000132312|title=A history of the barony of Gaultier.|first=Matthew|last=Butler|date=17 December 2018|publisher=Downey & Co.}}
