Irish Station Names - Historical Place Names

Cobh / An Cobh: from 1849 until 1922 was known as Queenstown in honour of Queen Victoria.
Dún Laoghaire: the anglicized spelling Dunleary was used prior to 1821, when the name of the harbour and its surrounding settlement was changed to Kingstown in honour of King George IV. The former name persisted for a time as the name of the neighbouring village, and is recorded as being the name of a station on the Dublin and Kingstown Railway in 1834. Later, the two communities merged under the name of Kingstown. In 1921, the original name was restored, but with the Gaelic spelling which is now used exclusively.
Londonderry / Doire: the town of Derry had the prefix “London-” added in the early 17th century to mark its close commercial connections with the capital of England. This remains the name that is used today for the majority of official purposes, but the variant Derry is frequently encountered. The “London-” prefix is never used with the Gaelic spelling.
