according to PIGOT and Co.'s Provincial Directory of 1824.

Hacketstown is a village in an angle of the county of Carlow and barony of Rathvilly, thirty-two miles south of Dublin, seven miles from Tullow, and fourteen from Carlow. This place was furiously attacked by the rebels on the 25th May 1798, but successfully defended by the yeomanry and a small party of the Antrim militia. Hacketstown is pleasantly built on a eminence; the church in particular, stands on a commanding situation, and is a neat stone building, to which a handsome tower was added in 1820. A Catholic chapel, now building will, when finished, be a spacious handsome edifice. Here are twelve fairs in the year viz: on the 13th of January, the 12th of March, 13th of April, the 4th of May, the 13th of July, 21st of August, the 18th September, the 16th of October, the 21st December; the other three fairs are held in February, June, and November, but the day for holding them changes yearly. The population according to the last census, was 1000.
