Kingscourt Crescent Off Euston Street, BT6 was Dingles Builders and accepted at the Health and Environmental Services Committee on Monday, 13th August, 2001.
The street name clearly comes from its proximity to Kingscourt Street which was named in 1882. This, in turn, was probably named after the town of Kingscourt, Co. Cavan, located close to Co. Meath. Kingscourt is a translation of the Irish name Dún an Rí and the town is also known by the anglicised form Dunaree. Kingscourt Street was the K in an alphabetical sequence of streets built in the 1880s and 1890s.
"Mr. J. Brown moved the adoption of this report, which, in addition to the usual statement of ordinary accounts, contained the following:- Your committee have named the new streets between Castlereagh Road and Cregagh Road Jocelyn Avenue, Kingscourt Street, Leitrim Street, Moneyrea Street, Newry Street, Omeath Avenue, Portobello Street, Quinton Street, Rostrevor Street and Euston Street...”.
