Newtown Limavady (Parliament of Ireland constituency)
Newtown Limavady was a parliamentary constituency in Ireland, returning two members to the Parliament of Ireland from its creation in 1613 until the Act of Union in 1800, when the Parliament was abolished and Newtown Limavady ceased to be a parliamentary borough. It was located in County Londonderry.
The borough corporation, which largely controlled the election of the members of parliament, was dominated by a small number of families. This resulted in the constituency becoming notorious for its susceptibility to patronage and influence, often controlled by larger landowners in the surrounding area. The right to vote was vested in the freemen and freeholders of the borough.
Notable individuals who represented Newtown Limavady in Parliament include members of influential Irish families and figures prominent in contemporary politics. However, its reputation for being a "pocket borough" detracted from its significance in the broader political landscape of Ireland during its existence. The details of specific election results and the complete list of its representatives can be found in historical parliamentary records.
