==Name== The name 'Castlepollard' comes from the name of a castle or fortified manor built by the English army captain Nicholas Pollard in the early 17th century. The town's official Irish name is Baile na gCros (anglicised Ballinagross), meaning "town of the cross (or crossroads)". However, the name Cionn Toirc (anglicised 'Kinturk'), meaning "head of the boar", has also been applied to the town. The townland of Kinturk Demesne covers the southern part of Castlepollard.
