In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Riverstown like this:
RIVERSTOWN, a village, partly in the parish of DRUMCOLLUM, but chiefly in that of KILMACALLANE, barony of TIRAGHRILL, county of SLIGO, and province of CONNAUGHT, on the road from Collooney to Ballyfarnon; containing 89 houses and 421 inhabitants. It is a constabulary police station, and contains the parish church, (a plain building) a meeting-house for Methodist, and a dispensary. It is the head of a R. C. union or district, comprising this parish and those of Taunagh and Drumcullum, in which union are two chapels; that in Riverstown is a plain building.
