- Strabane-born John Dunlap left for America at 10 and printed the first ~200 copies of the US Declaration of Independence (the famous "Dunlap Broadsides").
- He also fought alongside George Washington and backed the Revolutionary War financially—so he contributed beyond printing.
- Only 26 original broadsides survive; Dunlap was recently honored with a blue plaque in Strabane and featured on an Irish commemorative stamp.
