Tyrone County Council was the authority responsible for local government in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, from 1899 to 1973.
History
Tyrone County Council was established on 1 April 1899 under orders issued in accordance with the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 for the administrative county of County Tyrone, which succeeded the former judicial county of Tyrone.[1][2][3][4]
The Local Government (Ireland) Act 1919 introduced proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV) for the 1920 Irish local elections.[5] PR-STV was abolished in Northern Ireland under the Local Government Act 1922, with a reversion to first-past-the-post for the 1924 Northern Ireland local elections, the first local elections held in the new jurisdiction.[6][7]
It was originally based at Omagh Courthouse[8] but moved to County Hall in Omagh in 1962.[9] It was abolished in accordance with the Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 1972 on 1 October 1973.[10]
