It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Omagh Area A and Omagh Area B which had existed since 1973, where it contained seven wards (Clanabogan, Dromore, Drumquin, Fairy Water, Fintona, Newtownsaville and Trillick). For the 2014 local elections it was reduced to six wards, although it maintained the Clanabogan area.
