a county in the eastern part of Ireland, which extends in the form of a bow or half-moon, on the side of the ocean, being much longer than it is broad; it is bounded on the south and south-west by the county of East Meath, on the north-west by Monaghan, on the north by Armagh, and on the north-east east by the bay of Carlingford, which parts it from the county of Down: it is watered by several small rivers which fall into the sea; and its fourth frontiers are watered by the river Boyne. Its chief towns are Dundalk and Carlingford; unless we include Drogheda, a part whereof is in this county. It is the smallest county in the kingdom; but very fertile and pleasant, and abounding with many remains of antiquities, of which Mr Wright, in his Louthiana, has given a very ample description. It contains 111,180 Irish plantation acres, 50 parishes, five baronies, and five boroughs; and formerly returned 10 members to the Irish parliament: it is about 22 miles long, and 14 broad.

a town in the above county, having a yearly fair.
