Ballycolman
Ballycolman (Irish: Baile Uí Colmain ) is a townland of 588 acres in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, now part of Strabane. It is situated in the historic barony of Strabane Lower and the civil parish of Urney.[1]
The name derives from the Irish: Baile Uí Colmain (Colman's town).[2]
The population of the townland declined during the 19th century:[3][4]
