In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Lucan like this:
Lucan, small town and par., in co. and 9 miles W. of Dublin by rail, on river Liffey and Royal Canal - par., 1125 ac., pop. 899; town, pop. 691; P.O., T.O. Lucan has stations both on the Great South and Western and the Midland Great Western railways, and a steam tramway extends between the town and Dublin city. There is a woollen factory here. A chalybeate spa in the vicinity was formerly much resorted to. Lucan gives the titles of baron and earl to the family of Bingham.
