County Waterford is known locally as "The Decies", or "An Déise" in Gaeilge. Sometime between the 4th and 8th centuries AD, a tribe of native Gaelic people called the Déisi were driven from the southern parts of the country, conquering and settling here. The ancient principality of the Déise is today roughly coterminous with the current Diocese of Waterford and Lismore. The Deise region is a beautiful region with two mountain ranges, beautiful rivers and lakes and over 30 beaches along its unique volcanic coast line. The area has a rich history from megalithic tombs and ogham stones, to Vikings, to remnants of English occupancy, some of the most interesting are the Gaulstown Dolmen, Reginalds Tower and The Ballysaggartmore Towers respectively. Although Waterford City is the largest urban area in the county, Dungarvan is the administrative centre for the county.
