:Moneymore is also the name of a large housing estate in Drogheda, Ireland.
Moneymore (Irish: Muine Mór) is a village in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, lying near Lough Neagh. Its name comes from the Irish Muine Mór or Big Thicket. It had a population of 1,369 people in the 2001 Census. It is in the Cookstown District Council area.
It is perhaps the best preserved example of a Plantation village in Mid-Ulster. Moneymore features the wide streets and substantial buildings constructed in a precise order which is characteristic of Plantation architecture. It was the first town in Ulster to have piped water.
Among its public service buildings it has a medical centre, post office, pharmacy and a privately owned bus service, called Chambers' Coach Hire. Until July 2006 there was a Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) police station. The main convenience store is a Spar complex. Most recently, it incorporated the local butcher.However Spar was met with new competition when the new Mace and a new Off Sales was opened on Lawford Street in June 2007.
