About Coalisland

Known for

The Tyrone coalfields heritage, the Coalisland Canal, the civil rights movement (one of the first civil rights marches in Northern Ireland began here in 1968), and a County Tyrone town with remarkable historical significance

A little history

Coalisland grew around coal mining and the brickworks industry. The Coalisland Canal was built to transport coal to Lough Neagh. The town is historically significant in the civil rights movement — in August 1968, one of the first civil rights marches in Northern Ireland began here, marking the start of the civil rights campaign.

Local tip

The Coalisland Canal heritage trail is worth walking. The civil rights history is marked locally. The town's community spirit is strong. Dungannon nearby for wider amenities.
