[edit] History

Kilcooley is named after a farm on which the estate was built some decades ago. Famous for its dairy herd, Kilcooley farm was named after its counterpart in the Republic of Ireland.^{[citation needed]} Kilcooley Estate was built from the 1960’s to the 1980’s. Much of the estate was built between 1967 and 1976 to re-house people displaced from inner city areas of Belfast. Kilcooley estate is situated approximately three miles west of Bangor town centre and is bounded by two major roads, the West Circular Road on the East and the Belfast Road on the West. Kilcooley is the third largest estate in Northern Ireland.^{[citation needed]}
