THIS IS LAUGHANSTOWN LUAS TRAM STOP
Some time ago a lady contacted me to advise me that is is Loughlinstown not Laughanstown she was incorrect but they are two different places.
Laughanstown: The spelling of this name has varied considerably over time, and in some periods was almost indistinguishable from Loughlinstown, the name of which also varied. The spelling Laughanstown was adopted and fixed at the
time of the original Ordnance Survey in the 1830s. However, the evidence suggests that the name used locally was Lehaunstown, and this was noted by the Boundary Survey in the 1820s. Local usage did not change as a result
of the Ordnance Survey’s attempt to impose a new spelling.
