It has a [[village]] centre surrounded by suburban housing estates, with a population of 18,608 as per the 2022 census.<ref name="cso2022"/>

[[Malahide Castle]] dates from the 12th century and is surrounded by a large park, part of which incorporates an international cricket ground. The area also features a sandy beach, a [[marina]], a parkrun and a variety of sporting clubs.

==Etymology==
The modern name Malahide comes from "Mullach Íde", possibly meaning "the hill of Íde" or "Íde's sand-hill"; it could also mean "Sand-hills of the Hydes" (from Mullac h-Íde), in turn probably referring to a [[Normans|Norman]] family from the [[Donabate]] area.<ref>[http://www.irish-architecture.com/buildings_ireland/dublin/malahide/index.html Archiseek] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202032625/http://www.irish-architecture.com/buildings_ireland/dublin/malahide/index.html |date=2 February 2007 }}</ref> According to the [[Placenames Database of Ireland]] the name Malahide is possibly derived from the Irish "Baile Átha Thíd" meaning "the town of the ford of Thíd", which may have been a ford at the mouth of the Gaybrook Stream, on the road to Swords.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.logainm.ie/ga/17019|title=Mullach Íde/Malahide|website=Logainm.ie}}</ref> Malahide Bay was anciently called ''Inber Domnann'', the "river-mouth of the [[Fir Domnann]]".

==Location and access==
[[File:Malahide Air.JPG|thumb|An aerial view of Malahide]]
Malahide is situated {{convert|9|miles|km|order=flip}} north of the city of Dublin,{{sfn|Bennett|2005|p=162}} lying between [[Swords, County Dublin|Swords]], [[Kinsealy]] and [[Portmarnock]]. It is situated on the southern shore of an estuary where the Broadmeadow River comes to the sea; on the opposite side of the estuary is Kilcrea, and, some way inland, [[Donabate]]. To the west of the village, the Gay Brook or Gaybrook Stream passes through Yellow Walls, once a small separate village, to reach the estuary in a marshy area.<ref>The Watercourses of County Dublin Series #1: Rivers and Streams of North Dublin, Rath Eanna Research, Dublin 2008, at Swords Library, cc by SA licence</ref>

The village is served by the [[Dublin Area Rapid Transit|DART]] and some mainline rail services, run by [[Irish Rail]]. The [[Dublin Bus]] 32, 42 and [[Go-Ahead Ireland|102]], the 32X and 142 peak hour express services, and the 42N Nite-Link route serve the town from Dublin City Centre. Route 102 serves local areas to/from Dublin Airport (via Swords) and Sutton Station (via Portmarnock).

Malahide is close to the [[M1 motorway (Republic of Ireland)|M1 motorway]]. To travel to Malahide by car, one would exit the M1 at Junction 4, travel along the [[R132 road (Ireland)|R132]] Swords Bypass, and then finally onto the [[R106 road (Ireland)|R106]] and into Malahide.

While there are some remnants of prehistoric activity, Malahide is known to have become a persistent settlement from 795, following the [[Early Scandinavian Dublin#Early Viking raids|Viking invasions of Ireland]]. The Vikings used [[Donabate#Broadmeadow Estuary|Broadmeadow Estuary]] (along with [[Baldoyle Bay]], where they had a ''[[longphort]]'') as a convenient base.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://oldyellowwalls.org/norse-longphort/|title=A Norse Longphort|date=19 July 2011}}</ref> With the arrival of the Anglo-Normans, the last Danish King of Dublin retired to the area in 1170.{{sfn|Bennett|2005|p=162}}

[[Malahide Castle]], which dominates the area, was constructed after [[Henry II of England|Henry II]] granted an extensive area of land north of Dublin to Sir Richard Talbot in 1176. The castle evolved from this, and remained in the hands of the Talbot family until 1976, aside from a short period where it was seized by [[Oliver Cromwell]].{{sfn|Bennett|2005|p=162}}

[[File:Early 20th century Malahide scene - The Diamond (JV).jpg|thumb|The Diamond, Malahide – early 20th Century]]

There is an ancient covered well, [[St. Sylvester]]'s, on the old main street (Old Street, previously Chapel Street), which used to have a "pattern" to ''Our Lady'' each 15 August.

In 1475 [[Thomas Talbot (died 1487)|Thomas Talbot]], head of the Talbot family of [[Malahide Castle]], was granted the title ''Admiral of the port of Malahide'' by King [[Edward IV of England|Edward IV]], with power to hold admiralty courts and levy customs duties on all merchandise coming into the port. The office was hereditary, and the family's right to act as Admiral was confirmed by the [[Court of Exchequer (Ireland)]] in 1639.<ref>Mosley, ed. ''Burke's Peerage'' 107th Edition Delaware 2003 Vol. 3 p.3853</ref>

By the early 19th century, the village had a population of over 1000, and a number of local industries, including salt harvesting,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://oldyellowwalls.org/the-salt-works/|title=The Salt Works|date=19 July 2011}}</ref> while the harbour continued in commercial operation, with landings of coal and construction materials. By 1831, the population had reached 1223. The area grew in popularity in [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] times as a seaside resort for wealthy Dublin city dwellers. This is still evident today from the fine collection of Georgian houses in the town and along the seafront, and Malahide is still a popular spot for day-trippers, especially in the summer months.

31 March 1926, four members of the McDonnell family and two of their employees, who lived in La Mancha House in Malahide, were poisoned with arsenic and beaten to death; the house was then set on fire. Their gardener Henry McCabe was controversially convicted of their murders and hanged.<ref>{https://www.irishtimes.com/news/offbeat/the-malahide-mystery-a-family-massacred-and-burned-at-home-1.3239965}</ref>

In the 1960s, developers began to build housing estates around the village core of Malahide, launching the first, ''Ard na Mara'', in 1964. Further estates followed, to the northwest, south and west, but the village core remained intact, with the addition of a "marina apartment complex" development, adjacent to the coastal village green.

There are many shops and service outlets in the village core, including a small shopping centre, a supermarket, fashion [[boutique]]s, [[Beauty salon|hair and beauty salon]]s, florists, art galleries, book shops, food outlets, and a service station. There are multiple pubs (including Gibney's, Fowler's, Duffy's and Gilbert and Wright's), cafés and restaurants, and there is also the historic 203-room ''Grand Hotel''.<ref name="IT_gen_ovw_200118">{{cite news |last1=Sweeney |first1=Tanya |title=Make a move to Malahide for bracing walks and good food |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/make-a-move-to-malahide-for-bracing-walks-and-good-food-1.4139364 |access-date=23 September 2021 |newspaper=The Irish Times |date=18 January 2020}}</ref> Malahide has the highest [[median]] [[household income]] of any large [[census town#Ireland|census town]] in Ireland, according to the [[Central Statistics Office (Ireland)|Central Statistics Office]] (CSO).<ref>{{cite news |last1=The Journal |title=Here are the towns in Ireland with the highest household incomes |url=https://www.thejournal.ie/cso-malahide-4690048-Jun2019/ |access-date=30 August 2021 |date=Jun 20, 2019}}</ref>

Malahide is also a [[Civil parishes in Ireland|civil parish]] in the ancient [[Barony (Ireland)|barony]] of [[Coolock (barony)|Coolock]] within the traditional [[County Dublin]].<ref>[http://www.logainm.ie/865.aspx Placenames Database of Ireland] – Malahide civil parish</ref>

==Leisure and organisations==

[[File:MalahideLibrary.jpg|thumb|Malahide Library]]
Near to the village itself is a regional park formed from [[Malahide Castle| Malahide Castle and its demesne]], including gardens. This was once the estate of the [[Baron Talbot of Malahide]] family. Aside from Malahide Castle Demesne, there are a number of smaller parks (with further spaces planned, for example, at ''Robswall'' and ''Seamount''). There are several golf courses nearby, and GAA, soccer, tennis, rugby, yacht clubs and Sea Scouts. Malahide also has a substantial marina.

The Malahide area has more than twenty residents' associations, sixteen of which, as of May 2007, worked together through the Malahide Community Forum, which publishes a quarterly newsletter, ''The Malahide Guardian''.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}

There is a Lions club, a camera club, a musical and drama society, the Enchiriadis choirs, a chess club and a photography group which has published calendars. The Malahide Pipe Band was established in 1954 and still practices in the same area, in Yellow Walls, today. The band comprises pipers and drummers playing the bagpipes and snare, tenor and bass drums, and plays at various events locally, and in competitions around the country in the summer months. The band has also been involved in running a Pipe Band Competition on the grounds of Malahide Castle for a number of years.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}
