Tipperary (Irish: Tiobraid Árann) is a town in the south-west of County Tipperary, Ireland with a population of c.5,000 within the urban environs.
The town is a medieval foundation and became a centre of population in the reign of King John. Its ancient fortifications have disappeared but its central area is characterised by a large built environment with wide streets radiating from the principal thoroughfare of Main Street. There are two impressive historical monuments in the Main Street, namely the bronze statue of Charles Kickham, poet and patriot and the 'Maid of Erin' statue erected to commemorate the Irish patriots, Allen, Larkin and O'Brien, historically known as the "Manchester Martyrs". These monuments are a reminder of the important part played by the people of the town and district in Ireland's struggle for self-determination. The first engagement of the Irish War of Independence took place at nearby Solloghead Beg quarry on 19th January 1921 when Dan Breen and Seán Treacy led a group of volunteers in an attack on members of the Royal Irish Constabulary who were transporting gelignite.
