County Donegal
County Donegal (pronounced or ; (アイルランド語:Contae Dhún na nGall)) is a county in Ireland. It is part of the Border Region and is in the province of Ulster. It is named after the town of Donegal (''Dún na nGall'') in the south of the county. Donegal County Council is the local council for the county and Lifford serves as the county town. The population of the county was 161,137 according to the 2011 census. It has also been known as (County) Tyrconnell (''Tír Chonaill''), after the historic territory of the same name.
==Geography and political subdivisions==
In terms of size and area, it is the largest county in Ulster and the fourth-largest county in all of Ireland. Uniquely, County Donegal shares a small border with only one other county in the Republic of Ireland – County Leitrim. The greater part of its land border is shared with three counties of Northern Ireland: County Londonderry, County Tyrone and County Fermanagh. This geographic isolation from the rest of the Republic has led to Donegal people maintaining a distinct cultural identity and has been used to market the county with the slogan "Up here it's different".〔( Ireland Northwest ).〕 While Lifford is the county town, Letterkenny is by far the largest town in the county with a population of 19,588. Letterkenny and the nearby city of Derry form the main economic axis of the northwest of Ireland. Indeed, what became the City of Derry was officially part of County Donegal up until 1610.〔Brian Lacy (Editor), ''Archaeological Survey of County Donegal'', P. 1. Donegal County Council, Lifford, 1983.〕
