“That on the application of the owners Messrs R J McConnell and Co 3 new streets on their property situate off the Falls Road be named Rockmount Street, Rockville Street and Rockdale Street.” Minutes, Improvement Committee, 11th September 1900.

That on the application of the owners Messrs R. J. McConnell & Co. two new Streets on their property situate off Falls Road and Whiterock Road be named Rockmount Street and Rockneil Street.  (27th November 1900).  it is unclear why there was a second request to name Rockmount Street, there is no evidence that the name Rockneil Street was ever used. 

The Ordinance Survey map of 1900-1907 indicates a street where Rockmount Street is today but without a name.
