Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Galway, Roscommon, and Sligo, County Mayo is part of the province of Connacht. The county's boundaries, which were formed in 1585, reflect the Mac William Íochtar lordship at that time. The history of County Mayo is long, with evidence of occupation going back to Mesolithic communities around 4500B. The county has experienced perhaps the highest emigration out of Ireland. From the 1840’s to 1880’s emigrants left the rural townlands of the county initially triggered by the great famine, as well as searching for new work in the United Kingdom and the United States. Today the county has beautiful landscapes and historical sites, such as the tombs.","Connaught is the westernmost province of Ireland. In the modern era, the spelling changed to Connacht.
