Article History

River Mourne, part of the Strule-Foyle river system in west-central Northern Ireland, formed by the junction of the Rivers Strule and Glenelly at Newton-Stewart. It flows north-northwest for about 10 miles (16 km) to a point west of Strabane, where it joins with the River Finn to form the Foyle.
