Mullingar was established in 1909 by Charles and Mark Comerford and their families. They left Eldorado, Ontario, and homesteaded in the Mullingar district in 1906. In 1907, a country post office was erected[2] and the name "Mullingar" was chosen by Mark Comerford; to choose he closed his eyes and pointed to a map of Ireland. Charles Comerford was then the first postmaster of Mullingar. He was also one of the five township organizers to pave the way for its local improvement district, and was Reeve for the RM #466 for 19 years. Mullingar was and still is a farming community. Although the original post office is not there, the postal code and boxes are still used.
