The title was created on June 11, 1731 for the British MP Richard Child, 1st Viscount Castlemaine .

Already in 1704 he had inherited the title of Baronet , of Wanstead in the County of Essex , from his older brother, which had been bestowed on his father on July 16, 1678 in the Baronetage of England . On April 24, 1718, he was also elevated to Viscount Castlemaine , of Castlemaine in the County of Kerry, and Baron Newtown , of Newtown in the County of Donegal in the Peerage of Ireland .
