Summary

Description
English: A map of Dublin and environs included in the 1837 report of the Municipal Corporation Boundaries (Ireland) Commissioners.[1] The map shows:
  • The "ancient [municipal] boundary" of Dublin Corporation in green — inside the county of the city
  • The "city of Dublin liberties" — outside the municipal boundary but inside the county of the city. This area (from 1842 the barony of Dublin) is distinct from the "liberties adjoining Dublin", which were and are popularly called "the Liberties".[2][3]
  • The "parliamentary boundary" of Dublin City in red — originally the same as the county of the city, the boundary was extended by the Parliamentary Boundaries (Ireland) Act 1832 (2 & 3 Will.4 c.89) to include the "Circular Road" (North Circular Road and South Circular Road)[4]
  • 16 proposed wards within the municipality (coloured blocks within the parliamentary boundary).[5] — The 1837 report made two proposals for a new municipal boundary and consequent wards; on this map the new municipal boundary was to be the same as the post-1832 parliamentary boundary. In the event, the 1840 act which implemented the 1837 report used the other proposal for a municipal boundary and consequent wards.[6] The wards were further redrawn and renamed in 1850.[7])
  • The manor of Grange Gorman (outside the municipal boundary; extends off the north edge of the map)
  • The liberty of Thomas Court (inside the municipal boundary; abuts Donore)
  • The barony of Donore (outside the municipal boundary; abuts Thomas Court and Saint Sepulchre)
  • The barony of Saint Sepulchre (Saint Patrick's liberty and that part of the manor of Saint Sepulchre outside the municipal boundary but inside the parliamentary boundary; abuts Donore)
  • The remainder of the manor of Saint Sepulchre (outside of the parliamentary boundary; extends off the south edge of the map; abuts barony of Donore, barony of Saint Sepulchre, and city of Dublin liberties)
Pursuant to the Commissioners' report, the boundaries shown were changed by the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840 and the County of Dublin (Boundaries of Baronies) Act 1842.[8]
