Just how many are there? >> Marcena, My list, based on the 1851 census, includes 3482 towns and townlands for Co. Mayo. This would have to be adjusted for the border changes among the counties of Mayo, Sligo, Galway and Roscommon in 1898, but I'd say the current number would be within a few hundred of 3482. .............................................................................. ...
