Cork

Rebel County's capital

Cork is a city and county in southern Ireland, the country's second-largest urban area.

The name comes from Irish meaning "marsh"—the city was built on wetlands.

Cork is known for its harbor, university, and as a cultural hub of the southwest. (Lowercase cork is tree bark or a bottle stopper.)
