Donemana (named after the townland of Dunnamanagh, from Irish Dún na Manach 'stronghold of the monks')[1][2] is a village in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.

In 2001, it was the largest of the thirteen villages in the former Strabane District Council area and it had a population of 586 in the Census that year.

Land in the area was granted to John Drummond who established the village; building a bawn (an enclosed, fortified farmyard, designed as a place of refuge for settlers in case of attack), 10 wicker-work houses, and a watermill for grinding corn.

[11] Donemana is classified as a small village or hamlet by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) (i.e. with population between 500 and 1,000).

[3] Of these: The townland is situated in the historic barony of Strabane Lower and the civil parish of Donaghedy and covers an area of 130 acres.

Councillors for Sperrin DEA were first elected in 2014 and sat as part of a shadow council until the new Derry and Strabane authority formally took over in 2015.

These DEAs comprised the Glenelly Valley and environs, including the predominantly-unionist villages of Artigarvan and Donemana.

As a result, since the first election to the Sperrin DEA in 2014, Donemana has been represented primarily by Sinn Féin councillors.

The election that year saw Sinn Féin win 3 of the 7 seats and become the largest party in the new Sperrin DEA.
