Drumquin (Irish: Droim Caoin, meaning 'pleasant ridge')[1] is a village and townland (of 398 acres) in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
The works of the noted Irish writer Benedict Kiely contain many references to the Drumquin district, with which he had family connections on his mother's side.
His agent was a man called Bradley, one of whose family was responsible in later times for the building of the fine stone house, which is a feature of the village today.
Drumquin was also a staging town in the 19th and early 20th century for coaches and travellers who were making their way to Derry from Omagh and vice versa.
On 6 February 1989, James Connolly, a member of the Provisional IRA, died in a premature explosion while attempting to plant a booby trap bomb under a car outside the home of a Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officer.
[3] The geography of the area is a mixture of flat fertile lands that clings to the banks of the Fairywater and steep rolling hills.
Traditional Games Drumquin Wolfe Tones is the local Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club which has been in existence in its current form since 1968.
