Why is this County Derry and not County Londonderry? There has never been a County Derry (the English introduced the County system). It was previously County Coleraine, later renamed County Londonderry with a few bits of Antrim and Tyrone added to it. Derry is the name of a village, the London Guilds built nearby naming it Londonderry which is now the City of Londonderry / Derry . There is a degree of discussion over the name of the city but the County was never named County Derry.

Hey, under famous people where are Keith Harkin and Damian McGinty's names?

I'm unsure of the historical accuracy of this article. You mention that before 1600 the west bank of the Foyle was part of Donegal. The City was founded on the west bank of the Foyle around 596 A.D. and the oak grove that you mention is believed to be in the vicinity of Long Tower Church - also on the west bank. I think Donegal and Derry might have been part of the same territory at one point but that wasn't before 1600. Feel free to correct.

My ancestors came from scotland went to londerry and then to londonderry, massachussets. I hope that someday I can go to ireland and find info on their lives and see more of the beautiful country of ireland.
