Facts and Information about Monaghan
The following Information has been provided by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Monaghan (Irish: Muineachán) is a county in the
Republic of Ireland. It is one of three counties situated in the
province of Ulster without being part of Northern Ireland. The
name comes from the Irish, derived from Muine Cheain meaning the
Land of the little hills. This name refers to the density of
drumlins in the area, those small hills formed from glacial
action (during a previous ice age).
Monaghan is the principal town. Other major towns include
Carrickmacross, Castleblayney, and Clones.
Monaghan is the birthplace of the poet and writer Patrick
Kavanagh, who based much of his work in the county. Kavanagh is
one of the most significant figures in mid 20th century Irish
Poetry. The poem Stony Grey Soil refers to the county.
