County Cork, County in Munster, Ireland
County Cork spans 7,457 square kilometers across southern Ireland, featuring mountainous regions, three major rivers, and 1,199 kilometers of Atlantic coastline.
The region gained its nickname 'The Rebel County' in 1491 when its population supported Perkin Warbeck's uprising against King Henry VII of England.
The county maintains two Gaeltacht areas where 14,829 residents speak Irish, while traditional music sessions occur regularly in local establishments throughout the region.
Cork County contains multiple market towns including Mallow, Macroom, Midleton, and Skibbereen, serving as commercial centers for the region's 584,156 residents.
