New Ross demonstrated its resilient spirit during the tumultuous Irish Confederate Wars and the rebellion of 1798.

Today, the town, fourth largest in the county, is known for a variety of educational institutions providing primary and secondary education. Sports enthusiasts find a home here with a plethora of sports organisations, ranging from triathlon, rugby, to archery, while the arts scene is alive and vibrant, thanks to St Michael's Theatre, the Ros Tapestry Project, the Emigrant flame, and the replica of the Dunbrody famine ship.
