Cavan (/ˈkævən/; Irish: an Cabhán, meaning "the hollow") is the county town of County Cavan in Ireland. The town lies in Ulster, in the Republic of Ireland, near the border with Northern Ireland. The town is on the main road – the N3 road – linking Dublin (to the south) with Enniskillen, Ballyshannon and Donegal Town (to the north). The population of Cavan was 10,767 in 2011.
Cavan was founded by the King of Bréifne, Giolla Íosa Ruadh O’Reilly, sometime during his lordship between 1300 and his death in 1330. During his lordship, a Franciscan friary was established close to the O’Reilly stronghold at Tullymongan and was at the centre of the settlement close to a crossing over the river and to the town’s marketplace. The friary’s location is marked by an eighteenth-century tower in the graveyard at Abbey Street which appears to incorporate remains of the original medieval friary tower. The imprint of the medieval town can be followed in the area of Abbey Street, Bridge Street and Main Street (townlands of Tullymongan Upper and Lower).
County Cavan (Irish: Contae an Chabháin) is a county in Ireland. It is in the province of Ulster and is part of the Border Region. It is named after the town of Cavan and is based on the historic Gaelic territory of East Breffny (Bréifne).Cavan County Council is the local authority for the county, which has a population of 73,183 according to the 2011 census.
Cavan borders six counties: Leitrim to the west, Fermanagh and Monaghan to the north, Meath to the south-east, Longford to the south-west and Westmeath to the south. Cavan shares a 70 km (43 mi) border with County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. Cavan is the 19th largest of the 32 counties in area and the 25th largest by population. It is also the sixth largest of Ulster's nine counties in size and the seventh largest by population.
There are eight historic baronies in the county. While baronies continue to be officially defined units, they are no longer used for many administrative purposes. Their official status is illustrated by Placenames Orders made since 2003, where official Irish names of baronies are listed under "Administrative units".

Kingscourt town was built by Merlyn Pratt and later by the Rev. Joseph Pratt from 1760 to 1770. Its name derived from the fact that King James 2nd held court for one night at Cabra Castle (then Cormey Castle) on his way to the battle of the Boyne.

Sleek and shiny, dark and fast
Never let it cross your path
The panic begins, it's a battle you'll never win
She'll bait the trap, don't mess with the Black Cat
Superstition isn't true
Could it be maybe I love you?
The panic begins, it's a battle you'll never win
She'll bait the trap, don't mess with the Black Cat
Don't mess with the Black Cat
If you believe in superstition
Don't turn your back
Never mess with a black cat
Blazin' eyes, stalk the night
Cold and hungry in the dark
The panic begins, it's a battle you'll never win
She'll bait the trap, don't mess with the black cat
Don't mess with the Black Cat
If you believe in superstition
Don't turn your back
Never mess with a black cat
Don't mess with the black cat
If you believe in superstition
Don't turn your back
