==History== Dunloy lies in the ancient Irish district of "Killimorrie", which is now known as Killymurris. Killymurris is claimed as being derived from the Irish Coill Ui Mhuireadhaigh meaning "the wood of Murry". An alternate origin given for Killymurris is that it derives from Choill Mhuiris meaning "the wood of Morris".
