Dunboyne is a town in Meath, Ireland. It is a commuter town for Dublin. In the 20 years between the 1996 and 2016 censuses, the population of Dunboyne more than doubled from 3,080 to 7,272 inhabitants.
Dunboyne's Irish language name, Dún Búinne, indicates it was the fort of Bui who was the wife of the god Lugh. Dunboyne was home to many men who fought for and against British rule in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. During the War of Independence the town was Division Headquarters to the IRA 1st Eastern Division, a unit formed in April 1921 under Divisional commander, Seán Boylan. The Division consisted nine brigades: 1st Brigade ; 2nd ; 3rd ; 4th, Delvin; 5th ; 6th, Edenderry; 7th ; 8th Fingal; and 9th . Dunboyne got its name from Boann, the goddess of the River Boyne. The River Tolka runs through Dunboyne.
