Londonderry
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Londonderry is a city in Northern Ireland near to the border with the Republic of Ireland. It was originally called Doire (pronounced duhruh) which is an Irish word for a group of oak trees. In English, this word became "Derry". When the city became bigger, six companies from London in England paid lots of many to build things. The city was renamed "Londonderry".
The city is still called "Londonderry" though most people, especially Catholics, call it "Derry" in conversation.
