Cookstown East is an electoral ward within the Mid Ulster district, covering the eastern side of the market town of Cookstown in Northern Ireland. The ward is largely residential with easy access to the town centre, and sits in a landscape that rises towards the Sperrin Mountains, giving residents quick access to both rural open countryside and local services.
The wider Cookstown area has a strong market‑town identity - its famously broad main street, historic buildings and agricultural hinterland shape local life - and the economy now mixes retail, small manufacturing and services. Community life in the ward reflects a range of cultural activities from GAA and football clubs to agricultural shows and well‑known local events, and the town plays a modest but important role in the civic life of Mid Ulster.
