County Monaghan, Administrative region in the province of Ulster, Ireland
County Monaghan encompasses 1,295 square kilometers of land featuring numerous lakes, mountains, and distinctive glacial formations known as drumlins throughout its territory.
The county formation occurred in 1585 when the Mac Mathghamhna rulers of Airgíalla accepted integration into the Kingdom of Ireland through territorial agreements.
