Townlands
Coalisland sprang up in a townland called Brackaville and, over time, the urban area spread into the neighbouring townlands.
These include:
- Annagher/Anagher (likely from Eanach Thoir meaning "eastern marsh")
- Brackaville (likely from Bréachmhaoil meaning "wolf hill")
- Derry (from Doire meaning "oak grove")
- Gortgonis (likely from Gort Gonaidh meaning "field of the firewood" or Gort Gabha an Easa meaning "smith's field near the waterfall")
- Gortnaskea (from Gort na Sceach or Gort na Sgeach meaning "field of the thorns")
- Lisnastrane (likely from Lios an tSruthan meaning "ringfort of the streamlet")
