Tipperary (Irish: Tiobraid Árann, lit. "The well of Arra") is the name of a town (pop 4,546) in the south-west of County Tipperary, Ireland . The name "Tipperary" is derived from a well in the townland of Glenbane in the parish of Lattin and Cullen where the river "Arra" rises. Little is known of the historical significance of the well.
The town is often believed to be the county seat, which has never been the case but it is home to Tipperary Racecourse . North Tipperary and South Tipperary, have their administrative centres of Nenagh and Clonmel respectively. However, it has a large agricultural catchment area in West County Tipperary and East County Limerick and was historically a market town of some significance. It still boasts an extensive butter-making and milk processing industry today.
