County Londonderry, also known as County Derry, is one of the six counties of Northern Ireland, the nine counties of the province of Ulster, and the thirty-two counties of Ireland. Before the partition of Ireland, it was one of the counties of the Kingdom of Ireland from 1613 onward and then of the United Kingdom after the Acts of Union 1800. Adjoining the north-west shore of Lough Neagh, the county covers an area of 2,118 km (818 mi) and today has a population of about 252,231.
Since 1972, the counties in Northern Ireland, including Londonderry, are no longer used for local administration. Following the most recent local government reforms, in 2015, the area of the traditional county is now governed under three different districts: Derry and Strabane, Causeway Coast and Glens and Mid-Ulster. Despite no longer being used for local government and administrative purposes, it is sometimes used in a cultural context in All-Ireland sporting and cultural events (e.g. Derry GAA).
