Waterford (from Old Norse: Veðrafjorðr, Vedrafjord meaning 'ram fjord' or 'windy fjord'; Irish: Port Láirge meaning 'Lárag's port') is the fifth largest city in Ireland, and the largest city in the South-East of the country. Founded in 914 AD by the Vikings, it is the country's oldest city. The population of the city in 2006 was 49,213; of which 45,748 lived within the city limits, and 3,465 lived in the suburbs in County Kilkenny. The city is situated at the head of Waterford Harbour (Irish: Loch Dá Chaoch or Cuan Phort Láirge). The city motto Urbs Intacta Manet Waterfordia ('Waterford remains the untaken city') was granted by King Henry VII of England in 1497 after Waterford refused to recognise the claims of the pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck to the English throne. Waterford was subjected to two sieges in 1649 and 1650, during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. It withstood the first siege but surrendered during the second siege to Henry Ireton on 6 August 1650. Waterford is connected by rail, bus, road, air and sea. Waterford is connected with Cork, Dublin, Limerick, Rosslare Europort, Wexford and Dungarvan. The M9 motorway was completed on September 9, 2010, connecting Waterford and Dublin. The City has rail connection to Dublin and other towns in the South-East. Bus services operate through out the city centre and across the region. Waterford Airport is located 9 km outside the city centre ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
