## History

People already inhabited the area as far back as the Bronze Age. A number of discovered tombs indicate that the Phoenicians traded there with the local population. In the XV^(th) century, Qormi became one of the first parishes in Malta and had at the time the largest church in the country.

The island's population grew in the XVIII^(th) century and Emanuel Pinto de Fonseca, Grand Master of the Order of Malta, officially declared it a town on May 25, 1743. Like most of central Malta, Qormi is densely populated.
