In Elizabethan times it was owned by the Talbot family, who later became prominent as the owners of Mount Talbot. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it was owned by the Domviles who controlled access to Dublin's main water supply, the River Dodder, which passed through their estates. In 1801, the Templeogue Road was constructed, originally as a toll road. Urban expansion of Dublin during the 1950s and '60s absorbed the village. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Templeogue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
