Artane, sometimes spelled Artaine (Irish: Ard Aidhin), historically Tartaine is a northside suburb of Dublin city, Ireland. It is also a civil parish in the ancient barony of Coolock. Neighbouring districts include Kilmore West, Coolock, Beaumont, Killester, Raheny and Clontarf; to the south is a small locality, Harmonstown, straddling the Raheny-Artane border. Artane is also a parish in the Fingal South East deanery of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin.
Artaine, now usually Artane, has a recorded history spanning over 900 years, but for much of that time was a quiet rural area.
Artane, as described from Thom's Almanac and Official Directory: County Dublin Directory, in 1862:A village and parish in Coolock barony, Dublin county, three miles (5 km) N. from the General Post Office, Dublin, comprising an area of 954 acres (3.86 km2). Population, 457. The village is on the road to Malahide. The parish, anciently called "Tartaine," for centuries formed part of the estate of the Hollywood family, and the castle of Artane likewise belonged to that of the Donnellans. The ruins were taken down in 1825, and on its site Artane House was erected.
Artane Castle was recorded from about 1360 when Robert de Holywood, Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer and founder of the Hollywood family, purchased it.
