Louth Dundalk is the county town of County Louth. The town is on the Castletown River, which flows into Dundalk Bay, on the east coast of Ireland. It is near the border with Northern Ireland, and is equidistant between Dublin and Belfast Having been inhabited since the Neolithic period, Dundalk was established as a Norman stronghold in the 12th century following the Norman invasion of Ireland, and became the northernmost outpost of The Pale in the Late Middle Ages. The town came to be nicknamed the “Gap of the North” where the northernmost point of the province of Leinster meets the province of Ulster. The legends of the mythical warrior hero Cú Chulainn are set in the district. County Louth is named after the village of Louth, which in turn is named after Lugh, a god of the ancient Irish. The county is steeped in myth, legend and history, and is a setting in the Táin Bó Cúailnge, an epic in early Irish literature. County Louth is colloquially known as ‘the Wee County’ as it is Ireland’s smallest county by area.
