Limerick is known as the Treaty City, so called after the Treaty of Limerick signed on the 3rd of October 1691 after the war between William III of Hanover of England and his Father in Law King James II. The Treaty, according to tradition, was signed on a stone in the sight of both armies at the Clare end of Thomond Bridge on the 3rd of October 1691. The Treaty Stone of Limerick has rested on a plinth since 1865, at the Clare end of Thomond Bridge. The pedestal was erected in May 1865 by John Rickard Tinslay, mayor of the city.
