William Hamilton, who in 1790 laid out a town on this spot, the advantages of which as a convenient See also:port for the Irish See also:traffic he clearly recognized. In the opening years of the 19th See also:century a royal dockyard was established here, but in 1814 dockyard and See also:arsenal were removed to Paterchurch near See also:Pembroke. The growth of the town was further checked twenty years later by the development of Neyland, or New Milford, further See also:east on the Haven, whither the Irish packet service was transferred; but towards the See also:close of the loth century the town recovered much of its former prosperity. The importance of theplace is wholly due to its excellent situation on the splendid See also:land-locked harbour, which is here 2 M. broad.
