"That on the application of the Martin Estate Co. the Council be recommended to change the name of a street on their property off Falls Road, from Baldoyle Street to Divis Drive". (28th August 1906).
"It is possible that the name 'Black Mountain' is in fact a translation of the Irish name Dubhais (from which we get Divis) and that originally Divis and Black Mountain were thought of as being all the one mountain, named from its highest peak, Dubhais". The Northern Ireland Place-Name Project @placenamesni. Divis Street is included in the 1843 Belfast Directory including the names of residents and businesses such as John Alexander and Co. flour millers and the Falls Mill Company. Divis is also the name of a townland.
