==History==
Ballydesmond was established in the 1830s as a model village, and named Kingwilliamstown after King William IV of the United Kingdom. It had formerly been known as Tooreenkeogh. In 1951, it was officially renamed ''Ballydesmond'', an anglicisation of the Irish name ''Baile Deasumhan''.〔(S.I. No. 138/1951 — Local Government (Change of Name of Townland) Order, 1951 ). Irish Statute Book.〕 This is thought to refer to legendary freedom fighter, the 15th Earl of Desmond, who is believed to have taken refuge in the nearby hills. However, Kingwilliamstown remained the official name of the townland.
