Well you are correct on at least one count 😁.  I am not sure when the name change was made, I believed the county council voted it through in 1920. But according to Wikipedia- and who am I to argue with it - it says legally the county is still Kings County. 
You could also make the same case for Birr which was also known as Parsonstown for some time.
