Limerick is called the Treaty County because it was the site of the Treaty of Limerick which was signed on October 3 1691. This treaty marked the end of the Williamite War in Ireland and established a peace between the Catholic Jacobites and the Protestant Williamites. The treaty was significant in that it granted certain religious liberties to the Catholics and recognized the legitimacy of the Williamite regime in Ireland. In addition the treaty was an important step in the peaceful transfer of power between the two ruling parties. To this day Limerick is still known as the Treaty County in reference to this historic event.
