Co. Wexford was the landing place of the Norman invasion in 1169 and the region was settled extensively by the newcomers. This Norman influence, the warmth of its climate, the relative prosperity of its farms, and the fact that most of the county is situated between mountains and sea, have all combined to make Wexford a unique place. It was the scene of the most intense and widespread fighting in the rebellion of 1798, and for a time a citizens' republic was established on the French model in Wexford town.
