In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Tempo like this:
TEMPO, a post-town, in that part of the parish of ENNISKILLEN which is in the barony of TYRKENNEDY, county of FERMANAGH, and province of ULSTER, 6 miles (E. N. E.) from Enniskillen, on the road to Five-mile-town, and 86 ½ miles (E. N. E.) from Dublin; containing 335 inhabitants. ...
It is a station of the constabulary police, has a market on Wednesday for butter, and a fair on the 28th of each month. Here is a chapel of ease to the parochial church at Enniskillen; also the R. C. chapel giving name to the district, which comprises the greater part of the parish of Enniskillen, and three townlands of Aughavea; it is a neat structure, erected in 1826. A meeting-house for Wesleyan Methodists has been recently completed; and a dispensary is about to be established.
Tempo is now part of FERMANAGH AND OMAGH District. Click here for graphs and data of how FERMANAGH AND OMAGH has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Tempo itself, go to Statistics.
