County Roscommon (Irish:Contae Ros Comáin) is a county in Ireland. It is located in the province of Connacht, and also the West Region. It is named after the town of Roscommon. Roscommon comes from the Irish Ros meaning a wooded, gentle height and Comán, the name of the founder, first abbot and bishop of Roscommon. Roscommon County Council is the local authority for the county. The population of the county is 64,065 according to the 2011 census.
Geography and political subdivisions
Roscommon is the eleventh largest of the 32 counties of Ireland by area and the fifth least-populous county in Ireland. It has an area of 984 square miles. It has the second least population density after Leitrim. It is the third largest of Connacht’s five counties by size and fourth largest in terms of population. The county borders every other Connacht county - Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim, as well as three Leinster counties - Longford, Westmeath and Offaly. In 2008, a news report said that statistically, Roscommon has the longest life expectancy of any county on the island of Ireland.Lough Key in north Roscommon is noted for having thirty-two islands. The Geographical centre of Ireland is located in the county.
Leigh Rayment's historical List of Members of the Irish House of Commons() cites: Johnston-Liik, Edith Mary (2002). The History of the Irish Parliament 1692-1800 (6 volumes). Ulster Historical Foundation.
On 15 August 1599, the Battle of Curlew Pass between English and Irish forces was fought in the Curlew mountains during the Nine Years' War, between an English force under Sir Conyers Clifford and a native Irish force led by Aodh Rua Ó Dónaill. The English were ambushed and routed while marching through a pass in the Curlew Mountains, The English forces suffered heavy casualties. Losses by allied Irish forces were not recorded but were probably minimal. The Queen's principal secretary, Sir Robert Cecil, rated this defeat (and the simultaneous defeat of Harrington in Wicklow) as the two heaviest blows ever suffered by the English in Ireland.
In 1820, a portion of Casey County, now south of KY Route 300, was annexed to Mercer County. This became part of Boyle County when Boyle County was formed on February 15, 1842 from sections of Lincoln County and Mercer County. It is named for John Boyle, Congressman, Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, and U.S. District Judge.
A courthouse fire in 1860 resulted in the loss of some county records.
The name Roscommon is derived from Coman mac Faelchon who built a monastery there in the 5th century. The woods near the monastery became known as Ros Comáin (St. Coman's Wood). This was later anglicised to Roscommon.
Its population at the 2006 census was 5,017 (including rural area). Despite the town itself having a relatively small population, it caters to about half the population of County Roscommon as Boyle is the only other major town in the county.
History
It was the homeland of the Connachta dynasty, and included such kingdoms as Uí Maine, Delbhna Nuadat, Síol Muirdeach, and Moylurg. In addition, it contained areas known as Trícha cét's, Túath and is the homeland of surnames such as Ó Conchobhair (O'Connor), Mac Diarmada (McDermott), Ó Ceallaigh (Kelly), Ó Birn (Beirne, Byrne, Burns), Mac Donnchadha (McDonough) and Brennan (Mac Branáin and Ó Branáin).
Travel vlog #31 | Co Roscommon, Ireland | Filmed December 2021 to January 2022
After Spain, we flew to Ireland to spend the holidays with Avic's brother, his Irish wife, and her family. Even though we're not directly family, we've always been treated like family there and we always love spending time with them in this beautiful country.
Most of our Irish Family, including Avic's brother, lives in their hometown of Elphin in County Roscommon. Located in the western province of Connacht, Roscommon has a long and rich history that includes Irish Kings and Queens, an ancient festival that became Halloween, a church founded by St. Patrick, and a great castle and estate.
While we've been to Ireland many times, there's always something new to explore and learn!

Planning for a Self-Sufficient Future in County Roscommon
In this video, we travel to County Roscommon where Odhran Crowe and his family have recently moved after running a small no-dig market garden in France. Using his experience as a market gardener and inspired by permaculture techniques, he is now designing a partly self-sufficient homestead on a 3,000m2 site.
The design includes hugulkultur beds, food forests, reed bed systems, swales, ponds, chickens, bees and habitat for wildlife.

Miceál O'Callaghan (1923-1986)
Miceál was a representative of time and place. Occasionally a person comes to represent his own area or county and is known by many within that county and many more beyond it. For the most part people are happy that this is so and feel a confidence that when represented by this individual they are well represented. For many years this was the case with Miceál O'Callaghan. He epitomised Roscommon in varying ways and at different levels. I think that it can be confidently claimed that there was no one else who knew his own County, its town...

This, also, in a very real way, extended to the Roscommon Diaspora within Ireland and across the seas. Long before I came to Boyle in 1972 I was aware of Miceál. There were plenty of reasons for this, the main ones being his involvement with the G.A.A. and the Roscommon Herald
