Cork haes a reputation for rebelliousness datin back tae the toun's support o the Inglis Pretender Perkin Warbeck in 1491 follaein the Wars o the Roses. As a result, Coonty Cork haes earned the nickname o "the Rebel Coonty", while Corkonians aften refer tae the ceety as the "real caipital o Ireland", an thairsels as the "Rebels".

The ceety is built on the River Lee which divides intae twa channels at the wastren end o the ceety. The ceety centre is locatit on the island creatit bi the channels. At the eastren end o the ceety centre they converge; an the Lee flows aroond Lough Mahon tae Cork Harbour, ane o the warld's lairgest natural harbours.
