History of Inverurie
However, the town’s earliest known charter dates from 1558, with its modern development taking place after the building of the Aberdeenshire Canal linking Port Elphinstone with Aberdeen Harbour in 1806. The Inverurie Locomotive Works (1905 1969) led to a modest increase in size and prosperity, but it was not until the “Oil Boom” of the last quarter of the 20th century that the town developed into much of its present form.
