Londonderry or Derry is located in North West Ireland and is the second largest city in Northern Ireland. St. Columbia established a monastery there in the 6th century but the settlement was destroyed by Norse invaders several times by1200. In 1600 Derry (Irish Doire) as it was then called was seized by the English and in 1613 James I of England granted Derry to the citizens of London. Derry then became Londonderry officially but the new city was unsuccessfully besieged several times in the next century. The city served as a naval base during both world wars but its modern port facilities are of only minor importance. Like many other towns and cities in Northern Ireland Londonderry suffered during the troubles but today has become a modern vibrant city with a population of about 82,000.
