Salt North

Salt North () is a barony in County Kildare, Ireland.
Etymology.
Salt North derives its name from the Latin name of Leixlip: "Saltus salmonis" (literally "salmon leap"; the English name is derived from Old Norse "Lax-hlaup"). This makes Salt one of very few Irish placenames derived directly from Latin.
Location.
Salt North barony is located in the north-eastern corner of County Kildare, north of the River Liffey and east of the Lyreen River. It borders County Meath to the north and Fingla to the east.
History.
The Uí Gabla sept of the Dál Chormaic is noted early in Salt North. Ó Gelbroin is found as a chief of Mag Life on the plains of the river Liffey here. There was originally a single Salt barony, divided into north and south baronies before 1807.
