==History==
{{see also|Parish of Coolock (Roman Catholic)|Coolock parish (Church of Ireland)}}
Coolock has a history dating back over 3,500 years &ndash; a [[Bronze-Age]] burial site in the area dates back to 1500 BC. The settlement grew up around a small early-Christian church. A Catholic church, St. John's, was later built in the area. The feudal barony of Coolock was granted in 1199 by Henry II to the [[Archbishop of Dublin]].{{citation needed|date=March 2025}}

Coolock remained a small village until the 1950s, with lands around the village being further developed over time, notably Bonnybrook and [[Kilmore West]], between which a new centre to the area formed. At one time the old village was on the Malahide Road but that road was diverted and now passes slightly to the east of the village; in the meantime, a secondary hamlet, Newtown Coolock, developed further north.{{citation needed|date=March 2025}}

Later in the 20th century, lands in the north of Coolock were developed to form the new districts of Darndale and [[Priorswood, Dublin|Priorswood]].{{citation needed|date=March 2025}}
