The name Blackpool was first seen in the Medieval ages. In 1602, ‘Blackpoole’ has its first mention on the baptismal register of the Bispham parish. A historic drainage channel running over a peat bog, which discharged discoloured water into the Irish Sea, gave Blackpool its name. This black pool of water was known as ‘Le Pull’ due to how the peat lands in which the stream ran through discoloured the water. ‘Black Poole’ eventually evolved into ‘Blackpool’. In the 15th century, the settlement in the area was known as ‘Pul’. A map from 1532 calls the area ‘the pole howsys alias the north howsys’.
