The town was originally known as Maryborough. It was originally an old fort. The remains of the fort can be viewed in the town centre. Sir Edward Bellingham who was the Lord Deputy began overseeing the construction in around 1548. This was after exiling the native Celtic chieftain and securing English control of the town. The fort’s position was near the Ridge by the banks of the river Triogue.

Queen Mary, fully established the town through an act of Parliament in 1557. Hence the town was known as Maryborough or Queens County. The Catholic Church was constructed in 1556. After Queen Mary’s half sister, Elizabeth was made Queen the church was used for Protestant services. Ruairi Og O Mordha was a local chieftain and a rebellious character, he fought to have his lands returned. He started a rebellion that lasted for fifty years. Over this period Portlaoise had been set alight on many occasions. In 1801 the town was returned to the Irish people.
