Crossmore (District Electoral Area)

Crossmore was one of the four district electoral areas in Armagh, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014.

The district elected five members to Armagh City and District Council, and formed part of the Newry and Armagh constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Armagh Area C which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Carriagatuke, Derrynoose, Keady, Killylea and Milford.

It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and largely moved into the Armagh DEA.
