History

Coole is based upon the ancient territory of ''Cuil'', which was frequently referred to as the residence of the O'Cassidys (). The O'Cassidys became the head physicians of the Maguires, and the territory was a collateral or dynastic branch of the Maguires. In the Annals it appears as ''Cuil na nOirear'', which may have applied to an old half-barony near Enniskillen.
