History
Coolock has a history dating back over 3,500 years – a bronze-age burial site in the area dates back to 1500 BC. The settlement grew up around a small early-Christian church.

Coolock remained a small village until the 1950s, when it began to be developed as part of Dublin's suburbs, with lands around the village´being further developed over time, notably Bonnybrook and Kilmore West, between which a new centre to the area formed. At one time the old village was on the Malahide Road but that road was diverted and now passes slightly to the east of the village.
Later again, lands in the north of Coolock were developed to form the new districts of Darndale and Priorswood.
