Rosslare Harbour
The village of
Rosslare Harbour
grew up to serve the needs of the
harbour
of the same name (now called
Rosslare Europort
), first developed in 1906 by the
Great Western Railway
and the
Great Southern and Western Railway
to accommodate
steamferry
traffic between
Great Britain
and
Ireland
.
Rosslare Harbour railway station
opened on 30 August 1906. Although the harbour itself is located close to the previously existing settlement of
Ballygeary
, it was named after the village of
Rosslare
, some 4 km away (8 km by road) along the coast.
