Bonniconlon was previously within the bounds of County Sligo, when the Sligo border went as far as one shore of the Moy in Ballina. It has been within the County Mayo administrative area since the border was changed back to the Ox Mountains Windy Gap. Bonniconlon is made up of two townlands, Bonniconlon East and Bonniconlon West.

The village has an old church, a Gaelic Athletic Association hall and playing pitch, a town hall, two pubs, three shops and a graveyard. The old school house, which was used for local meetings and events, was located between the newer school and the church.
