Muine Bheag
Muine Bheag〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Muine Bheag )〕 or Muinebheag (:ˈmˠɪnʲə vʲɔɡ), also known as Bagenalstown , is a small town on the River Barrow in County Carlow, Ireland.
==History and name==
The town sprang up within the townland of Moneybeg, which comes . In the 18th century there was a small hamlet there. Englishman Walter Bagenal decided to build a town on the site, named 'New Versailles' and modelled after Versailles in France.〔Mayse, Shirley. ''Our Caswell Relatives''. University of Wisconsin, 1975. p.343〕 However, shortly after the building began the coach route from Dublin was changed so that coaches now crossed the River Barrow at Leighlinbridge instead.〔 Bagenal abandoned his plans, having built only a courthouse.〔 It wasn't until the arrival of the railway in 1846 that the settlement began to grow into a town.〔
The town was referred to in English as 'Bagenalstown', but local Irish speakers continued to refer to it as ''Muine Bheag''. Following the creation of the Irish Free State, ''Muine Bheag'' became the town's only official name. A number of other places were renamed likewise.
The motto on the town's coat of arms is ''The Irrepressible Number'' and its Irish equivalent ''Uimhir Gan Choisc''.
