Bundoran, or "Bun Dobhráin" in Irish (which means the foot of the little water) was, up until over a century ago, two separate villages. Bundoran was the village "west" of the bridge over the River Bradoge. This area is now called "the West End". East of the bridge, about away, was the village of Single Street. In between these two separate communities was the townland of Drumacrin. The area of Drumcacrin is now part of what is today's town centre. Single Street was where most of the local population lived. It was only after completion of the Enniskillen and Bundoran Railway in 1868, which opened a terminus that it called "Bundoran", that the two distinct communities developed and merged to what are today called Bundoran.
