Prior to the construction of the first Wexford Bridge in the late 18th century, the townland of Ferrybank South was a landing-point for ferryboats crossing the River Slaney from Wexford Town.[1][2] In the early 20th century, Ferrybank was the site of a U.S. Naval Air Station Wexford.[3] It operated during World War I from 2 March 1918 until 15 February 1919.[4][5]
