Divismore Crescent / Corrán Dhuibhis Mhór

This street name can be traced by to its proximity to Divis. "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. "Further to minute of 3rd October last the Deputy City surveyor submitted an application from the Estate superintendent requesting this committee to approve of the under noted names for new throughfares on Corporation property situated off Whiterock Road and Springfield Rd: Ballymurphy Road, Ballymurphy Crescent, Ballymurphy Parade, Whitecliff Crescent, Whitecliff Parade, Whitecliff Drive, Glenalina Green, Glenalina Pass, Glenalina Road, Glenalina Crescent, Glenalina Gardens, Divismore Crescent, Westhill Way, Rock Grove, Westview Pass. On the recommendation of the deputy city surveyor, the committee approved of the names as outlined above". (14th November 1950).
