County Tyrone
County Tyrone () is one of the six counties of Northern Ireland. Adjoined to the south-west shore of Lough Neagh, the county covers an area of 3,155 km² (1218 sq mi) and has a population of about 177,986, with its county town being Omagh. It is also one of the thirty-two traditional counties of Ireland and is within the historic province of Ulster.
Tyrone is the eighth largest of Ireland's thirty-two counties by area and tenth largest by population. It is the second largest of Ulster's nine counties by area and fourth largest by population.〔Marie Veronica Tarpey (The role of Joseph McGarrity in the struggle for Irish independence )〕 The county is no longer used as an administrative division for local government purposes, but retains a strong identity in popular culture.
