Strabane North is an electoral ward within the local government district of Derry City and Strabane in Northern Ireland, covering the northern part of the market town of Strabane and its immediate suburbs. It sits close to the border with County Donegal, where the River Mourne joins the River Foyle, giving the area a distinctly riverine and cross‑border character that shapes local travel and daily life.
The ward combines a mix of residential streets, small town centre shops and light industry, and has a history tied to linen production and river trade before mid‑20th century decline. Socially and economically it has faced challenges common to many former industrial towns, but there is strong community life centred on Gaelic games, music and cross‑border co‑operation with neighbouring places such as Lifford, alongside ongoing regeneration and tourism efforts that draw on the local scenery and built heritage.
