==Overview==
Originally a small fishing village, the area saw rapid development upon the arrival of the [[Waterford and Tramore Railway|railway]] from [[Waterford|Waterford City]] in 1853,<ref>{{Cite news |title=An Irishman's Diary about the Waterford and Tramore railway |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-irishman-s-diary-about-the-waterford-and-tramore-railway-1.2502691 |access-date=2022-12-05 |newspaper=The Irish Times |language=en}}</ref> when the town flourished as a tourist destination. As the population grew steadily in the latter part of the 20th century, Tramore became a satellite and dormitory town of [[Waterford City]], situated some 13&nbsp;km (8 miles) to the north. Today the town is a popular destination for surfing and other water sports due to its large, sheltered bay and provision of accommodation and amenities.
