Inver is a large village, lying on a hill to the south of the Inver River, close to where it flows into Lough Larne in County Antrim. It is within the townland of Inver, in the civil parish of Inver. The core of St Cedma's Church (C of I) dates back to the early 14th century. It stands on an ecclesiastical site reputed to date back 1,500 years. The village of Inver developed around the road junction on the hill above the church. The riverside area west of the village was a centre of corn mills and, from the 19th century, for the linen industry. The Inver Bleach and Dye Works closed in the 1960s. Inver Park, between the church and the former linen works, has been home to Larne F.C. since 1918. The village has seen significant suburban development since the mid 20th century. Although sometimes considered a part of Larne, it retains a distinct identity. The village is within the council area of Mid and East Antrim.
