Omagh (District Electoral Area)

Omagh is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Fermanagh and Omagh, Northern Ireland. The district elects six members to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and contains the wards of Camowen, Coolnagard, Dergmoney, Gortrush, Killyclogher and Strule. Omagh forms part of the West Tyrone constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Omagh Area C which had existed since 1973. It was called Omagh Town until 2014, and originally contained seven wards (Camowen, Coolnagard, Dergmoney, Drumragh, Gortrush, Lisanelly and Strule). For the 2014 local elections it was reduced to six wards.
