Dundalk (from the Irish: Dún Dealgan meaning "Dalgan's fort" which has associations with the mythical warrior Cúchulainn) is the county town of County Louth in Ireland. Dundalk is situated close to the border with Northern Ireland, is located on the east coast of Ireland equi-distant between Dublin and Belfast.
Within legally defined boundaries it is the largest town in Ireland. The Dundalk area has been inhabited since at least 3500 BC, in the Neolithic period. A tangible reminder of their presence can still be seen in the form of the Proleek Dolmen, the eroded remains of a megalithic tomb located in the Ballymascanlon area to the north of Dundalk. It was granted its charter in 1189.
Dundalk is sited on the lowest bridging point of the Castletown River. The town's crest reads "Mé do rug Cú Chulainn Cróga" (I gave birth to brave Cú Chulainn). In 2003, Dundalk was amongst nine cities and towns to be designated Gateway status in the Irish Government's National Spatial Strategy.
Dundalk is twinned with the town of Reze in France.
