Carr's Glen was named for an early Scottish settler. In the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland there is a sixty-one year lease to John Carr, dated February 1692. The name Carr or Kerr is Scottish and many Scots came to Ulster in the decade after the Battle of the Boyne. In the funeral register of the First Presbyterian Church for 1733 there is mentioned 'Mr John Carr of Oldpark'. He was a linen manufacturer and corn miller and his property included Carr's Glen. He renovated the old hunting lodge of the Donegalls into the house of Old Park and later this house passed to the Lyons family, who were his relatives. Beyond this little is known about him.
