Dungannon
Dungannon is a town in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is set in the southeast of the county, within the historic barony of Dungannon Middle and the civil parish of Drumglass. On the southern edge of the town are 3 small lakes, of which the biggest is Black Lough, and Dungannon Park, a 70-acre retreat surrounding a serene still-water lake, provides miles of pathways and views of wildlife and the neighboring townland. The glamour of the town has been acknowledged most prestigiously by being the winner of Ulster in Bloom's 'Best Kept Town Award' five times. With a population of 15889, in accordance with the 2011 Census, it is the third largest town in the county, after Omagh and Strabane. The town provides the administrative centre for the Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council. Traditionally, it was the capital of the O'Nell dynasty, who ruled most of Ulster and built a castle on the hill, known as Castle Hill. After the dynasty's loss in the 9 Years' War, the Plantation town established by the English turned into what is recognised as Dungannon today. A particularly striking landmark in the town is the former police barracks at the top right-hand corner of the market square, which are distinct from other barracks located in Ireland. It has been asserted that the distinguishing nature of the building is the result of a confusion with the plans for the design of barracks in Dublin, which implied that Dublin wound up acquiring the basic barracks meant for the town. Traditionally an agrarian town, the town is now known for its food and light engineering industries.
