Boycott was named after Captain Charles Boycott who lived in Co.Mayo, Ireland during the years of the Land League in Ireland. Charles Stuart Parnell headed the land league which was fighting for equal tenant rights for Irish farmers during the late 1800s.
When Parnell called on the farmers to stop working for their landlords it was started in Mayo. The farmers working for Captain Boycott stopped working resulting in his crops and land to rot. After Captain Boycott left the methods used for this tactic was given the name boycott!
