In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Drangan like this:
DRANGAN, a parish, in the barony of MIDDLE-THIRD, county of TIPPERARY, and province of MUNSTER, 4 ½ miles (N. E.) from Fethard; containing 1804 inhabitants. It comprises 5300 statute acres of tolerably good arable and pasture land, as applotted under the tithe act; and is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cashel, forming part of the union of Killenaule : the tithes amount to £325. ...
In the R. C. divisions the parish forms part of the union or district of Cloneen; the chapel is a plain building. There are four pay schools, in which are about 150 boys and 170 girls; and in the village is a constabulary police station.
