Strabane (barony)
The barony of Strabane is a former barony of Ireland, situated in County Tyrone.[1][2] It was in use as an administrative division from at least the late 16th century.[3] The barony takes its name from the settlement of Strabane which, in 1591, was "made the head of the barony of Strabane" having previously being "in the district of Munterlony".[4] The 1841 census contained a record for "Strabane barony".[5] The barony was subsequently subdivided and, by 1851, had been split into Strabane Lower and Strabane Upper.[6]
