History

The name Bormla derives from the Maltese bir-mula, "The well of the Lord". In 1722, Grand Master Zondadari proclaimed it a city and named it Citta Cospicua.

In 1776, the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem began the construction of docks. This construction marked a turning point in the city's history, as it became famous for its docks, which played a vital role in the development of the city.
