County Wicklow ((アイルランド語:Contae Chill Mhantáin), ) is a county in Ireland. The last of the traditional 32 counties to be formed, as late as 1606, it is part of the Mid-East Region and is also located in the province of Leinster. It is named after the town of Wicklow, which derives from the Old Norse name ''Víkingalág'' or ''Wykynlo'' meaning in Old Norse is Viking Meadow. Wicklow County Council is the local authority for the county. The population of the county is 136,640 according to the 2011 census. Wicklow is colloquially known as ''the Garden of Ireland''.〔http://www.gardenexhibition.ie/〕 It is the 17th largest of Ireland's 32 counties by area, being thirty-three miles in length by twenty miles in breadth, and 15th largest by population. It is the fourth largest of Leinster's 12 counties by size and the fifth largest in terms of population. Between 2006 and 2011 the population of the county grew between 5–10%〔http://www.cso.ie/en/media/csoie/census/documents/Prelim%20complete.pdf〕 The boundaries of the county were extended in 1957 by the Local Government Act〔(Irish statute book, Local Government Provisional Order Confirmation Act, 1957 )〕 which "detached lands from the County of Dublin and from the jurisdiction and powers of the Council of the County of Dublin" near Bray and added them to the County of Wicklow. The adjoining counties are Wexford to the south, Carlow to the south-west, Kildare to the west and Dublin to the north. == Towns and villages == * Aghavannagh * Annacurra * Annamoe * Arklow * Ashford * Aughrim * Avoca * Ballinaclash * Ballinakil * Ballycoogue * Baltinglass * Blessington * Bray * Brittas Bay * Carnew * Coolafancy * Coolboy * Coolkenno * Delgany * Donard * Dunlavin * Enniskerry * Glencree * Glendalough * Glenealy * Grangecon * Greenan * Greystones * Hollywood * Kilbride * Kilcoole * Killincarrig * Kilmacanogue * Kilpedder * Kiltegan * Knockananna * Lacken * Laragh * Manor Kilbride * Meeting of the Waters * Newcastle * Newtownmountkennedy * Poulaphouca * Rathnew * Rathdrum * Redcross * Roundwood * Shillelagh * Stratford-on-Slaney * Tinahely * Valleymount * Wicklow * Woodenbridge 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「County Wicklow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
