Colmcille is the patron saint of the city of [[Derry]], where he founded a monastic settlement in c. 540.<ref name="IP" /> The name of the city in [[Irish Gaelic|Irish]] is ''Doire Cholm Cille'' and is derived from the native oak trees in the area and the city's association with Colmcille. The Catholic Church of Saint Colmcille's Long Tower, and the Church of Ireland St Augustine's Church both claim to stand at the spot of this original settlement. The Church of Ireland Cathedral, [[St. Columb's Cathedral]], and the largest park in the city, [[St. Columb's Park]], are named in his honour. The Catholic Boys' Grammar School, [[St. Columb's College]], has him as Patron and namesake.
