Is Londonderry in Northern Ireland?
Londonderry is in Northern Ireland; it is very close to the border with the Republic of Ireland. The name of the city originates from the Gaelic language, in which it has always been called "Doire" - pronounced 'Derry'. It became 'Londonderry' after Britain invaded the entire island in the middle ages. As a result, most nationalists (who are usually Irish) call the city "Derry", whereas most unionists (who are usually British) call the city "Londonderry". The official names of both the city and the county are still "Londonderry". However over the past decade (or so) it has been sometimes referred to as "stroke" City; during the easing of some of the political and sectarian tensions to be 'politically' correct (and trying to accommodate both sides of the 'political' divide) the 'officials' and other institutions refer to 'Londonderry/Derry'; e.g. take a look at google maps (for example).
