Paignton, or Paega's town, the name of the original Celtic settlement, was a small fishing village until the building of the harbour in 1837. As a result, fine examples of Victorian architecture are prominent in the town centre. The opening of the railway in 1859 gave Paignton and Torquay a reliable link to London and the area has been popular with visitors ever since.
