The townland first appears in a taxation letter of 1605 under the name 'Ballycronekill', with the form 'Cromkill' first appearing in 1669. The oldest surviving buildings in the townland are a collection of houses on the Cockhill Road, which date from circa 1830.[5] Cromkill is recorded in the 1911 census of Ireland as having 294 residents, mostly Presbyterian.[5]
