Walter Bagenal decided to build a town on the site, to be named "New Versailles" and modelled after Versailles in France.Mayse, Shirley. ''Our Caswell Relatives''. University of Wisconsin, 1975. p.343 However, shortly after building began, the coach route from Dublin, which had passed the location, was changed so it crossed the River Barrow a few kilometres away, at Leighlinbridge, instead. Bagenal abandoned his plans, having built only a courthouse. It was not until the arrival of the railway in 1846 that the settlement began to grow into a town. In 1911 the town became the first in Ireland to install dual-language street signs, which remain in place today. Following the creat ...
