There were originally two boroughs named Drogheda, lying on opposite sides of the River Boyne that forms the boundary between County Meath to the south and County Louth (or Uriel) to the north.[2] Sometimes a writ of election was made to the two boroughs separately (Drogheda versus Uriel and Drogheda versus Midiam)[3] and sometimes to the two jointly (Drogheda ex utraque parte aquae, "on both sides of the water").[1] In 1412, the two boroughs were united and, together with their liberties, formed into the "county of the town of Drogheda" separate from Meath and Louth.[2] The county of the town formed a single county borough constituency.
