County Antrim, Historic county in Northern Ireland.
County Antrim extends from Belfast city to Lough Neagh, featuring nine glens, basalt cliffs, and 650,000 residents across 3,086 square kilometers.
The region dates back to medieval times, with Celtic settlements and Viking invasions shaping its development before becoming an administrative division under Edward II.
The county maintains both Irish and Ulster Scots language traditions, with dedicated schools and community centers supporting linguistic preservation throughout the region.
Transportation links include Belfast International Airport, rail connections to major cities, and ferry services from Larne Harbor to Scotland.
The Giant's Causeway contains 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns formed by volcanic activity 60 million years ago along the northern coastline.
