There are numerous cities in Ireland which are definitely worth visiting, and one of the many cities of Ireland is Waterford. Situated within the South Eastern region of Ireland, Waterford is also a part of the Munster province. In all of Ireland, Waterford is the oldest city, and on the list of most populous cities, Waterford ranks at number five. The local government authority of the city is the Waterford City Council.

Being the oldest city in Ireland, the history of Waterford goes back to the 1st century. However, for people who are visiting the city today, this might not seem the case.

But, that does not mean that there is a lack of places for people to visit here. Those who are visiting Ireland should definitely visit Waterford, because it perfectly captures the traditions of Ireland and with a host of different festivals that are held in the city, it is a very popular attraction for tourists.

History of Waterford

The first settlement came in to Waterford back in 853, when Viking raiders created a settlement within the area. However, the area was vacated just fifty years after, along with all other longphorts. This was due to the Vikings being driven out of the land by the native people of Ireland. It wasn’t long until the Vikings came back and settled in the area, and by 914, they had established a colony again. The King of Leinster tried to take the city during 1167, but failed. However, he managed to take control of the city by 1170, along with mercenaries.

Then, Dublin and Waterford were both declared to be royal cities. During the Middle Ages, Waterford didn’t see much progress and it was mainly a place for battle hardened soldiers to take respite in. The city didn’t see much progress during the 17th and 18th century, and it wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that sincere development began to take place in the area. Waterford is a great place for people to visit for tourists, because even though there are a number of tourist locations in the area, the climate of the area is also extremely nice. Even though there is lots of rainfall in the area, the climate remains cool and peaceful all around.
