====Baronies==== {{See also|List of baronies of Ireland}} There are ten historic [[Barony (Ireland)|baronies]] in the county.<ref>[https://www.logainm.ie/en/s?txt=in:100002&cat=BAR Placenames Database of Ireland] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210121202131/https://www.logainm.ie/en/s?txt=in:100002&cat=BAR |date=21 January 2021 }} – Baronies.</ref> While baronies continue to be officially defined units, they ceased to have any administrative function following the [[Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898|Local Government Act 1898]], and any changes to county boundaries after the mid-19th century are not reflected in their extent. The last boundary change of a barony in Dublin was in 1842, when the barony of Balrothery was divided into Balrothery East and Balrothery West. The largest recorded barony in Dublin in 1872 was Uppercross, at {{convert|39,032|acre|km2}}, and the smallest barony was Dublin, at {{convert|1,693|acre|km2}}. {| class="wikitable sortable collapsible nowrap" style="font-size: 100%; text-align: right; display:inline-table" |+ '''Historic baronies of County Dublin''' |- !
