| ==History==
| |
| The Plantation of Ulster from 1610 saw the settlement and origins of several new towns within the county. Existing towns such as Cavan and Belturbet became over time more important as trading centres. Wars during the mid-seventeenth century
| |
| that were aimed at trying to unsettle the Plantation only led to further plantations of English and Scottish settlers into the county and the beginnings of a thriving flax and linen industry.
| |
| The Great Famine potato blight between 1845–49 hit parts of Cavan very hard. The winter of 1847 is particularly noted for the high levels of deaths nationally caused by diseases such as typhus and cholera.
| |
| There were some instances of eviction that also occurred during the nineteenth century.
| |
| There was one story where the local landlord in Mountnugent parish decided to evict over 200 people. The famous ballad "By Lough Sheelin Side" is based on this event witnessed by the local Catholic priest.
| |
| | |
| When the Ulster Union Council met on 9 June 1916, the delegates from Cavan learned that they would not be included in any "temporary exclusion of Ulster" from Home Rule; they agreed only with very great reluctance.
| |
| | |
| The population of County Cavan is roughly 76,092 people.<ref>Wikipedia Collaborators, "County Cavan," In ''Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_Cavan. Visited 23 October 2017.</ref>
