Boundaries and boundary changes

This constituency was the borough of Armagh in County Armagh.

During the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland the borough was not represented in the Protectorate Parliaments (1654-1659), except as a small part of the Down, Antrim and Armagh county constituency.

After the restoration, in 1660, the Parliament of Ireland was revived with the borough again represented.

Following the Act of Union 1800 the borough retained one parliamentary seat in the United Kingdom House of Commons.
