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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
