Hill Head was a farmhouse in the townland of Ballymoney. It is first mentioned under "Andersonstown" in the "Village Directory" section of the BPU Directory for 1890, occupied by William McFarland junior and William McFarland senior. However, a William McFarland (perhaps the same William senior in the aforementioned record) was recorded as a farmer at Ballymoney in the 1877 directory without mention of a house name. The name Hill Head (often written as a single word) occurs frequently as a house name across Ulster.
Hillhead Park is recorded in the 1967 list of streets in the directory.
