The Laggan (or Lagan) CoOperative Agriculture & Daily Society was founded in 1896, only the second such co-operative to be established in Ulster. The driving force behind its formation was an enterprising local farmer named Samuel Marshall. The Sallybrook creamery was built by the Laggan Co-Operative in the townland of Monclink. The local shop at the time, beside Sallybrook House owned by Mrs McClintock sold the famous Sallybrook Creamery butter. The adjacent Sallybrook Train Station provided transport for the Creamery/Co-op til 1953. The train station opened on 1 May 1885 when the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway built their line from Londonderry Graving Dock to Letterkenny (LLS). It closed for passengers on 3 June 1940. It remained open for freight until 10 August 1953. The longest and last known resident of Sallybrook House is Mr. Willlam Elder and wife, a native of Ahoghill, Co Antrim.
