Augher (from Irish: Eochair meaning "edge/border"[1]) is a small village in south County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.

Ridgway was successful in developing the town that within two years it awarded a borough charter by James I.

By 1630 the ownership of Augher had passed to Sir James Erskine and during the Irish Rebellion of 1641 the castle was successfully defended against rebel attack.

After a period of being closed, the now Augher Station House Cafe came under new ownership, was refurbished and reopened once more.
