a market-town of Ireland, in the county of Tyrone, on the Mourne, 20 miles N.N.W. of Armagh, and 130 N.N.W. of Dublin. It is very irregularly built on the right side of the river; and the older part of the town consists for the most part of very mean and wretched houses; but there have been formed some new and much better streets, lined with good houses and shops. The parish church is a fine cruciform edifice in the Grecian style. Besides this, there are places of worship for Presbyterians and Methodists, several schools, a court-house, jail, dispensary, hospital, and workhouse. The manufacture of linen is carried on to a considerable extent here; and in former times Strabane was one of the chief seats of this branch of industry. There is also a large brewery, and a considerable trade is carried on in grain and provisions. A canal from Strabane to the Foyle facilitates the commercial intercourse between this town and Londonderry. Pop. 4925.
