The name Dromore is an anglicisation of the Irish Druim Mór meaning “large ridge” The town features a well-preserved Norman motte and bailey that was constructed by John de Courcy in the early 13th century. The town and cathedral were wholly destroyed during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, and the present church was built by Bishop Jeremy Taylor in 1661.

Today

Of the 190 units within Dromore Town Centre, over one quarter were vacant. This is in spite of recent population growth in the town; a result of the proximity to the A1 road and resultant commuting access to Greater Belfast. Green-field development has mostly been around the edges of the town, and the doughnut effect has led to these houses being disconnected from the town centre.
