Dungannon
Dungannon is a town in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the southeast of the county, within the historical barony of Dungannon Middle and the civil parish of Drumglass. On the southern side of the town are 3 small lakes, of which the biggest is Black Lough, and Dungannon Park, a 70-acre retreat surrounding a tranquil still-water lake, offers miles of pathways and views of wildlife and the local townland. The charm of the town has actually been recognised most prestigiously by being the champion of Ulster in Bloom's 'Best Kept Town Award' 5 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. Historically, it was the capital of the O'Nell dynasty, who ruled the bulk of Ulster and built a castle on the hill, named Castle Hill. After the dynasty's defeat in the 9 Years' War, the Plantation town established by the English developed into what is identified as Dungannon today. A particularly striking landmark in the town is the former police barracks at the top right-hand corner of the marketplace square, which are distinct from other barracks located in Ireland. It has been alleged that the distinct nature of the structure is the result of a confusion with the plans for the design of barracks in Dublin, which meant that Dublin ended up gaining the conventional barracks intended for the town. Originally an agricultural town, the town is now known for its food and light engineering industries.
