  Derry travel guide - Wikitravel
Derry or Londonderry (Doire in Irish), is the second city of Northern Ireland and the fourth largest city on the island of Ireland after Dublin, Belfast and Cork.
Derry's history dates back over 1,450 years, a lasting reminder of the early inhabitants of the area is the Iron Age fort, just over the border in County Donegal, known as the Grianan of Aileach.
Derry has developed a reputation as a place with high levels of alcohol-fuelled violence, at weekends in particular, but in actual fact it is really no more than the drunken brawling which blights so many town centres throughout the UK and Ireland.

  Robert Lundy - LoveToKnow 1911
When the apprentices of Derry closed the gates in the face of the earl of Antrim, who was approaching the city at the head of an Irish Catholic force in the interests of James II., the viceroy Tyrconnel despatched Mountjoy to pacify the Protestants.
Mountjoy and his regiment were well received in the north, and the citizens of Derry permitted him to leave within their walls a small Protestant garrison under the command of Lundy, who assumed the title of governor.
Popular feeling in Derry ran so strongly in favour of the prince of Orange that Lundy quickly declared himself an adherent of William; and he obtained from him a commission confirming his appointment as governor.
