Sligo is a county on the west coast of the Republic of Ireland, where the land meets the Atlantic. The main town is also called Sligo, so the same name can mean the county or the town — the rest of the sentence usually makes it clear. English speakers say it like SLY-go, not “slee-go.” The name comes from Irish Sligeach, literally “abounding in shells”: the river and shore there were rich in shells. Irish writing, especially W.B. Yeats, is tightly tied to this place; you may see “Yeats Country” on signs. It is a place-name, not a common noun you can use for just any town.
