Strabane

Strabane (An Srath Bn in Irish) is a town in the north west of County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, on the border with County Donegal. It contains the headquarters of Strabane District Council. The National Trust owns the house in which John Dunlap learnt the printing trade. He went on to print the United States Declaration of Independence. Nearby, at Dergalt, is the ancestral home of Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States. The core of the local grammar school is based in the house of the poet and hymnwright Cecil Frances Alexander, who wrote such hymns as All Things Bright and Beautiful. Recent years have seen Strabane, a predominantly nationalist town, become a hotbed of dissident republican paramilitarism.
