There have been settlements along the river Liffey, Dublin's main river, for over 2000 years. Celts would have been in those settlements. Two villages existed at that time Ãth Cliath and Dubh Linn. Dubh Linn, meaning black pool, is the origin of the word Dublin. Ãth Cliath was the Crossing at the Hurdle Ford. Baile Ãtha Cliath has survived as the Irish language name for Dublin. Since that time many peoples have built in the area, notably the Vikings siince the 8th century. In 1988, Dublin celebrated a millennium year, but as you can see, it is older than that.
