The windmill was built around 1800 by Sir Rowland Blennerhassett (1740-1821), the First Baron of Blennerville, who founded the village and developed the port.
The building was used as a store until the 1880s when its millstones were powered by a steam engine installed by Tralee corn merchants, McCowans, and again as a store between 1889-1891 during the construction of the Tralee & Dingle Light Railway.
