County of Nether Tyrone

Nether Tyrone was an early modern geographic term used in 16th–17th‑century sources to describe the lower part of County Tyrone.[1] Contemporary descriptions also referred to an "upper Tyrone," for example in accounts of the Strabane area at the end of the 16th century.[2] These labels denoted regions within Tyrone rather than separate counties in the later administrative sense.[3]
