County Longford, Administrative division in Leinster, Ireland
County Longford covers 1,091 square kilometers in central Ireland, featuring agricultural lands, rural settlements, and the River Shannon flowing through its western border.
The territory belonged to the O'Farrell clan until the 13th century, when English forces gained control, though the O'Farrells regained leadership in the 15th century.
The Corlea Trackway Visitor Centre presents an 18-meter section of an Iron Age oak road from 148 BC, representing ancient engineering methods in Ireland.
The N4 and N5 routes intersect in Longford town, connecting the county to Dublin, Mayo, and Roscommon, with regular train services to major cities.
The county contains the Carn Clainne Aodha peak at 278 meters, marking the highest elevation point in this predominantly flat agricultural region.
