Dundalk is the county town of County Louth in Ireland, situated close to the border with Northern Ireland. It takes its name from Dún Dealgan, Dalga's fort home closely associated with the famous mythical warrior Cúchulainn and was granted its charter in 1189. It is sited on the lowest bridging point of the Castletown River. The town's crest reads "The place where brave Cúchulainn was born."
Within legally defined boundaries, Dundalk is the largest town in Ireland with a population of 29,037 inhabitants. In 2003, Dundalk was amongst nine cities and towns to be designated Gateway status in the Irish Government's National Spatial Strategy.
