The
City
Cork (Corcaigh
in Irish) is the second city of the Republic of Ireland and Ireland's
third most populous city after Dublin and Belfast respectively. The
principal city and administrative centre of County Cork and the largest
city of the province of Munster.
The city proper has a population of 123,062; this increases to 186,239
if the suburbs of the city in the Cork County Council area are included.
In the "Cork Joint Housing Strategy", it states that the 2006 population
of Metropolitan Cork stands at approximately 274,000. The city (including
suburbs) is the third largest city on the island of Ireland (after Dublin
and Belfast) and second largest in the Republic of Ireland (after Dublin).
The city's name is derived from an Irish word corcach meaning "marshy
place", referring to its situation on the River Lee. Cork has a reputation
for independence dating from 1491, when some townsmen tried to overthrow
the king of England, but more recently referring to its participation
in the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War. This has given
Cork the nickname of "the Rebel County". It is not unusual for Corkonians
to refer to Cork as the "true capital of Ireland" or to feel they have
a very distinct identity from the rest of Ireland.
The River Lee flows through the city, an island in the river forming
the main part of the city centre just before the Lee flows into Lough
Mahon and thence to Cork Harbour, one of the world's largest natural
harbours. The city is a major Irish seaport — with quays and docks sited
along the broad waterway of the Lee on the city's East side.
