The Waterside (Ulster-Scots: Wattèrbroo, Irish: Taobh an Uisce) generally refers to the part of Derry on the east bank of the River Foyle. Traditionally, the Waterside ends at the Caw roundabout near the Foyle Bridge. Areas such as Eglinton and Limavady are not part of the Waterside.
The Waterside once had a majority of Protestant and unionists but further demographic change has occurred in this area, and like the rest of Derry City is mainly Irish Catholic and nationalist. During the Troubles, the Waterside's Protestant population grew, probably as a result of Protestants moving there from the west side of the river.
