Knockagh is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Mid and East Antrim, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects five members to Mid and East Antrim District Council and contains the wards of Burleigh Hill, Gortalee, Greenisland, Sunnylands and Woodburn.[2] Knockagh forms part of the East Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Carrickfergus Area A which had existed since 1973. It was called Knockagh Monument until 2014, and contained five wards (Clipperstown, Gortalee, Greenisland, Knockagh and Woodburn). For the 1993 local elections, it gained a sixth ward, Burleigh Hill. For the 2014 local elections it was reduced by one ward, with Clipperstown replaced with Sunnylands.
