Fermanagh County Directory 1862

FERMANAGH, an inland county in Ulster province. Boundaries: N., Donegal and Tyrone; E., Tyrone and Monaghan; S., Cavan; W., Cavan and Leitrim. Greatest length, N.W. and S.E., 45 miles; greatest breadth, N.E. and S.W., 29 miles; comprising an area of 714 square miles, or 457,195 acres, of which 289,228 are arable, 114,847 uncultivated, 6,155 in plantations, 210 in towns, and 46,755 under water. The surface generally exhibits a succession of abrupt eminences of slight elevation; it is mountainous along the western boundary, from Ballyconnell to the sea, and also between Lisnaskea, Fivemiletown, and Rosslea. Lough Erne, its most attractive feature, extends from one extremity to the other, for 45 miles, in a N.W. direction; it bisects the county, and is divided into Upper and Lower--the Upper extends from Wattle-bridge to Enniskillen; the Lower from Enniskillen to Rosscor, where its waters are contracted, and form the river Erne, which extends to the county Donegal, and falls into the sea at Ballyshannon. It is navigable during the winter season through its whole extent to the fall at Belleek, within three miles of Ballyshannon; and a steamer of 20 horse power plies between Enniskillen and the Ulster canal at Wattle-bridge. The other lakes next in size are Loughs Melvin and Macnean. The soil is variable, heavy, and retentive of moisture, light and friable, and moorish. Coal and iron ore are found in small quantities, and there is sand and limestone in abundance; the climate mild and moist. The trade in butter is considerable; and the linen manufacture, of a coarse description, chiefly for domestic use, is carried on to a small extent. The population in 1841 was 156,481; 150,795 in the rural, and 5,686 in the civic district. According to the Census of 1861, the total population of the county was 105,372.

The county is divided into 8 baronies--Clanawley, Clankelly, Coole, Knockninny, Lurg, Magheraboy, Magherastephena, and Tyrkennedy, and contains 23 parishes, &c. It is chiefly in Clogher diocese, with a small portion in that of Kilmore. The only large town is Enniskillen, population in 1861, 5,655. The county returns 3 members to Parliament--2 for the county, constituency in 1859, 4,672; and 1 for Enniskillen borough, constituency, 234. The Assizes are held in Enniskillen. The county is within the military district of Dublin; and there are barrack Stations at Enniskillen and Belleek.

The net annual value of property rated to the poor in this county is £195,864; and the net amount of property valued under the Tenement Valuation Act, £170,668.
