Description
Excerpt from A Guide to the County of Wicklow, 1827: Illustrated by Engravings, With a Large Map of the County, From Actual Survey
The county of Wicklow, one of the smallest in Ireland, lies directly. South of Dublin, and contains an area of 660 qare miles, being thirty-three miles in length by twenty in breadth, with a population amounting to 110, 7 67 per sons. It is bounded on the east by the Irish Sea, on the west by parts of Carlow, Kildare, and Dublin coun ties, and on the south by Wexford. There are three baronies and four half-baronies m this county, viz. Ark low, Newcastle, Ballynacor, baronies -the halfé-baronies; are, two of Talbot' s-town, one of Rathdown, and one or Shillelagh. The partition of Wicklow into baronies was probably subsequent to that of the other counties in Ireland; for, although the boundary of the county was virtually assigned by the prescription of limits to the sur rounding shires, which occurred in the reign of King John, yet We find that the dignity of a county was with held from this division of Leinster until.
