Well, strictly speaking the City is called Derry and the County is called Londonderry, however given that older local road signs and maps will sometimes use these names interchangeably or based on local preference, we figured it would be easier for visitor to know the town as "Derry~Londonderry" so that you will be able to tell you are heading in the right direction no matter what the signs say.
