Civil parishes in Ireland are based on the medieval Christian parishes, adapted by the English administration and by the Church of Ireland. [1] The parishes, their division into townlands and their grouping into baronies, were recorded in the Down Survey undertaken in 1656–58 by surveyors under William Petty.
The civil parishes were included on the nineteenth-century maps of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland. [13] At the time of the 1861 census there were 2,428 civil parishes in Ireland (average area 34.8 square kilometres (13.4 sq mi; 8,600 acres)). [9] Poor Law districts were created in 1838, each centered on a large town.
