Tipperary, town and urban district, County South Tipperary, Ireland. The town grew up around a castle erected by Prince John (later King John) when he was lord of Ireland; the outline of the bailey remains. A chancel arch from a 13th-century Augustinian abbey still stands. In 1339 the town was burned by the O’Briens. New Tipperary was founded in 1890, but it was later abandoned. There is a monument to the Manchester Martyrs—three men executed in Manchester, England, in 1867 for killing a police sergeant during an attempted rescue of two Fenian prisoners. Pop. (2006) 5,065; (2011) 4,322.
