A late 19th century view of Omagh, the county town of County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. A monastery was apparently established on the site about 792, which became a town in 1610. It served as a refuge for fugitives from the east of County Tyrone during the 1641 Rebellion. In 1689, James II arrived at Omagh, en route to Derry. Supporters of William III, Prince of Orange, later burned the town.
