  Castlederg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castlederg (Caisleán na Deirge in Irish) is a large village in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, lying on the River Derg.
Castlederg is cited as "the most bombed small town" (by the IRA) in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, though this dubious honour was disputed, with near-by Strabane (which district council Castlederg is a part of) also trying to claim the title.
Castlederg is classified as an intermediate settlement by the NI Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) (ie with a population between 2,250 and 4,500 people).
