Highlands is matched by the extent to which its history can introduce us to
a better understanding of the diffrent cultures and events that have made
north-west Ulster such a distinctive region.
The variousness of its history from earliest times to the recent past is
superbly caught in this most comprehensive of local histories. The clan
rivalries in Pre-Plantation times, culminating in the collapse of the
Gaelic order in the Nine Years War, are succeeded by the Plantations
undertaken in the seventeenth century. This crucial period also saw
Strabane come to the fore not only for its strategic importance but as the
principal town on the Abercorn estate, one of the largest landed estates in
Ireland. Local historians of the past and present have pieced together the
many strands of the fabric of this progressive market town and regional
centre. The joys and sorrows, poverty and plenty, successes and failures
contained in the stories on transport, communications, education, religion
and entertainment are all the work of local experts whose peerless local
knowledge and research skills are matched by their abilities to tell a good
story.
This project was initiated by the late Jim Bradley in whose name the ten
contributors, the Ulster Historical Foundation and the Strabane History
Society are pleased not only to complete the work but to offer it as a
model for other town histories. The fruit of their labour, a well-balanced
and beautifully illustrated study of a historically significant town, will
be read and enjoyed throughout the Fair River Valley and beyond.
