County
Armagh
(named
after
its
county
town,
Armagh)
is
one
of
six
counties
that
form
Northern
Ireland
and
one
of
the
32
traditional
counties
of
Ireland,
situated
in
the
northeast
of
the
island,
within
the
historic
province
of
Ulster.
Adjoined
to
the
southern
shore
of
Lough
Neagh,
the
county
covers
an
area
of
1,326
km²
and
has
a
population
of
about
175,000.
County
Armagh
is
known
as
the
"Orchard
County"
because
of
its
many
apple
orchards.
There
is
a
history
of
apple
growing
in
Armagh
dating
back
3,000
years.
Saint
Patrick
planted
an
apple
tree
at
Ceangoba,
an
ancient
settlement
east
of
the
city
of
Armagh.
Today
more
than
4000
acres
of
Armagh
are
covered
by
apple
trees
and
the
area
comes
alive
with
colour
in
Spring
as
the
pink
flowers
of
the
apple
trees
blanket
much
of the deep green landscape.
Approximately
90%
of
the
crops
are
Armagh
Bramley
Apples.
The
Armagh
Bramley
was
awarded
PGI
(Protected
Geographical Indication) status in 2012.
