County Tyrone

County Tyrone (from Irish: Tír Eoghain, meaning "land of Eoghan") is one of the six counties of Northern Ireland. Adjoined to the south-west shore of Lough Neagh, the county covers an area of 3,155 km² (1218 sq mi) and has a population of about 177,986, with its county town being Omagh. It is also one of the thirty-two traditional counties of Ireland and is within the historic province of Ulster.

Tyrone is the eighth largest of Ireland's thirty-two counties by area and tenth largest by population. It is the second largest of Ulster's nine counties by area and fourth largest by population. The county is no longer used as an administrative division for local government purposes, but retains a strong identity in popular culture.

Name

The name Tyrone is derived from Irish Tír Eoghain, meaning "land of Eoghan", the name given to the conquests made by the Cenél nEógain from the provinces of Airgíalla and Ulaid. Historically, it was anglicised as Tirowen or Tyrowen, which are closer to the Irish pronunciation.

    Tyrone is a borough in Blair County, Pennsylvania, 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Altoona, on the Little Juniata River. Tyrone was of considerable commercial importance in the twentieth century. It was an outlet for the Clearfield coal fields, and it was noted for the manufacture of paper products. There were planing mills, and chemical and candy factories. In 1900, 5,847 people lived here; in 1910, 7,176; and in 1940, 8,845 people resided here. The population was 5,477 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Altoona, PA Metropolitan Statistical Area. It was named for County Tyrone in Ireland.

    Located along the main lines of the Norfolk Southern and Nittany and Bald Eagle railroads, and US-220, PA-453, and I-99 highways, Tyrone was at one time known as "The Hub of the Highways." In those days four railroads [Pennsylvania, Tyrone and Clearfield, Tyrone and Lock Haven, Lewisburg and Tyrone] and three main highways [US-220, PA-350, PA-453] converged there. Prior to the development of the railroads through the state, Tyrone was on the Main Line Canal, Juniata Division, of the Pennsylvania Canal system.

    "Alright"
    I'm gettin' tired of your shit

    See Everytime you come around
    You got to bring Jim, James, Paul, & Tyrone
    See why can't we be by ourselves, sometimes
    See I've been having this on my mind
    For a long time
    I just want it to be
    You and me
    Like It used to be, Baby
    But ya don't know how to act
    So matter of fact
    I think ya better call Tyrone
    (Call Him)
    And Tell him come on, Help you get your Shit (Come On, Come on)
    You need to Call Tyrone
    (Call Him)
    And tell him I said come on
    Now everytime I ask you for a little cash
    You say no and turn right around and ask me for some ass
    Oh, Well hold up
    Listen partna
    I ain't no cheap thrill
    Cause Miss Badu is always comin' for real
    And you know the deal
    Everytime we go somewhere
    I gotta reach down in my purse
    To pay your way and your homeboys way
    And sometimes your cousin's way
    They don't never have to pay
    Don't have no cars
    Hang around in bars
    Try to hang around with stars
    Like Badu
    I'm gon' tell you the truth
    Show and prove
    or get the boot
    I think ya better, (Erykah Badu-He, he he)
    (Call Him)
    And tell him come on
    Help you get your shit
    You need to call Tyrone
    (Call Him)
    "Hold On"
