Nombre e historia

La zona era una granja lechera hasta que comenzaron a construir viviendas en los años 1950 y en 1970 finalizó su construcción. En esos días la mayoría de los terrenos disponibles ya se habían construido. EL origen del nombre era Wilkinstown, nombrado luego de un terrateniente que vivió en el área en el siglo XV, a través de los siglos el nombre se corrumpió en Walkinstown.
