In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Foyle like this:
Foyle, river, cos. Donegal, Tyrone, and Londonderry; is formed by the confluence of the Finn and the Mourne at Lifford, and flows NE. to the head of Lough Foyle at Culmore; is 16 miles long, and is navigable for vessels of 600 tons to the bridge of Londonderry.
Foyle is now part of DERRY CITY AND STRABANE District. Click here for graphs and data of how DERRY CITY AND STRABANE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Foyle itself, go to Statistics.
