In 1926, the Church of Ireland decreased to 2.6% with 0.16% and 0.121% being Presbyterian and Methodist, respectively. Overtime there has been a slight increase in the percentage of Roman Catholic to 96.9% in 1926. In 1871, 93.8% of the population was Roman Catholic followed by the Church of Ireland at 5.4% with 0.3% each being Presbyterian and Methodists. The predominant religion in the county is Roman Catholic. The population continued to decrease until it was only 141,015 in 1926. It was greatly affected by the potato famine and its population decreased to 331,567 in 1851. Most of the soldiers sold their land to their officers and others creating large estates in the county. The lands of those who rebelled were given to the Cromwell’s soldiers and English adventurers. In 1641, the Irish and Norman chieftains of Tipperary became part of the Catholic Confederacy and were defeated by Cromwell in 1649. Tipperary was part of the old Gaelic territory of Ormond and Thomond. Its breadth is 45 miles from the western boundardy between Hospital and Emly and Carrickdoon Hill on the eastern boundary. Its length is 74 miles from the corner of the Araglin river on the bondary south-west of Clogheen to where the Little Brosna river enters the Shannon. The county covers 1,661 square miles (4,303 sq km). The name Tipperary is taken from the Irish 'Tiobraid Arann', which means 'the well of Era', referring to the River Ara. In 2012 North and South Tipperary were reunited as a single local government authority. The county is divided between two local government authorities, North Tipperary (with its administrative centre in Nenagh) and South Tipperary, (with its administrative centre in Clonmel). It is located in the province of Munster. County Tipperary (Irish: Contae Thiobraid Árann) is a county of Ireland.
