History

The names Cogry (also written as Coggrey [2] ) and Kilbride come from Irish Coigríoch, meaning 'border-land, frontier' [3] and Cill Bhríde meaning "Bríd's church". [4]

Cogry was originally a mill village built and owned by the McMeekin family during the mid 19th century, who also owned Cogry Mill. But it declined in the 1950s with the closure of the mill, The mill has since been purchased in 2019 by a property developer but the site currently lies dormant. In recent years the village has been revitalised by housing development. As the two settlements are so close they are often treated as one.
