About Omagh - show infohide info
Omagh is county town (and the largest town) of County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The population of the town is approximately 25,000, with a further 25,000 in the Omagh district. Omagh is located just a short distance from the border with the Republifc of Ireland. The first recorded reference to Omagh was in 1464 when a Franciscan abbey was set up above the Abbey bridge, though as a town, Omagh was not set up until 1610. In 1689, James II arrived in the town en-route to Derry. Omagh was abandoned, and all materials of use to James' army were removed by townspeople. The town was rebuilt over time, with Trinity Street being built in 1752. The couthouse was built between 1812 and 1822. The railway reached Omagh in 1852 via two seperate lines; these lines merged in 1861. The railway was closed in 1965, and since then the trackbed has been built upon to provide a throughpass. In 1998, a bomb detonated by the Real IRA devastated the centre of Omagh, and killed 29 people - 13 women, 9 children and 6 men, as well as injuring 220. One of the women killed was pregnant with twins. There are a number of attractions in the town, including the Ulster-American Folk Park, the Omagh leisure centre, playing fields and sports stadia, and an 18 hole golf course. Omagh is well served by bus networks, with buses within the town and its suburbs, as well as to the wider area and other towns in Northern Ireland.
