Wexford was long noted for the prosperity of its farms and for its industrial farmers. It may have been for these reasons that Wexford suffered less than many Irish counties when the Great Famine struck in 1845. The rural population density in 1841 was one of the lowest in the country at 217 persons per square mile. There was considerable emigration especially from the north of the county, which continued throughout the 19th century. The county’s population was then 202,000 persons. By 1851 the population of Wexford (Self Catering, Wexford, Ireland) had fallen to 180,000 and by 1891 to 112,000. New York, Boston, Texas and Nova Scotia received the bulk of Wexford emigrants but some also settled in Argentina, Australia and England.
