Omagh (pronounced /'omæ/; from the Irish: An Ómaigh meaning "The Sacred (or Virgin) Plain") is the county town of County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, situated where the rivers Drumragh and Camowen meet to form the Strule. The town, which is the largest in the county, has an estimated population of 22,182 and a further 30,017 live in the Omagh District Council area (2008 estimates). Omagh also contains the headquarters of Omagh District Council, the Western Education and Library Board.
It is the county town of Tyrone, having taken the title from Dungannon around 1768. The town is said to owe its origins to an abbey founded in 792 AD, making it one of the oldest towns in Ireland.
The town is in west central Ulster and is traditionally considered to be part of West Tyrone.
