County Kerry has been called “The Kingdom” since the first century!

It’s said in Kerry that, “There are only two kingdoms, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Kerry.”

Use of the nickname “The Kingdom” to refer to Kerry dates back to 65 AD when one of the O’Connor clan took control of the area. The O’Connor chieftain’s name was “Ciar” (pronounced “keer”) and his descendants became known as “Ciar-raigh”
