TIPPERARY

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 10: Swastika to Zyrianovsk and Index, p. 219

TIPPERARY, the county town, is 110 miles SW. of Dublin by rail, with a Catholic and a Protestant church, and has a noted butter-market; pop. 7274. In 1890, under the 'Plan of Campaign,' a 'New Tipperary' was founded to thwart the proprietor of the land on which Tipperary town is built, and opened on 12th April; but the scheme wholly collapsed in the course of the following year.
