Glenelly (District Electoral Area)

Glenelly DEA (1993-2014) within Strabane

Glenelly was one of the three district electoral areas in Strabane, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected five members to Strabane District Council, and formed part of the West Tyrone constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Strabane Area B which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Artigarvan, Dunnamanagh, Plumbridge, Slievekirk and Victoria Bridge. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and replaced with the Sperrin DEA.
