County Monaghan

Ireland

County Monaghan shares 90 connections with 1271 other places across 23 topics, spanning Irish governance, history, literature, and nature. Tied closely to Dublin and Belfast, the county carries a layered past: around 6,000 Monaghan residents signed the 1912 Ulster Covenant, when a quarter of the population was Protestant. The derelict Ulster Canal, which once linked the county to Lough Erne, is now subject to a reopening scheme. Thomas Taggart (1856–1929), a Monaghan-connected figure, became a US Senator and Mayor of Indianapolis.
