From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Larne Area C was one of the three district electoral areas in Larne, Northern Ireland which existed from 1973 to 1985. The district elected seven members to Larne Borough Council, and formed part of the North Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1973 local elections, and contained the wards of Antiville, Blackcave, Central, Craigy Hill, Gardenmore, Harbour and Town Parks. It was abolished for the 1985 local elections and mainly replaced by the Larne Town DEA, with areas also going to the Coast Road and Larne Lough DEAs.
