IMalta ibimiwe ukusukela malunga ne5900 BC. [4] Indawo yayo embindini weMeditera [5] ngokwembali iyinike ukubaluleka kobuchule njengesiseko somkhosi waselwandle, ngokulandelelana kwamagunya akhuphisanayo kwaye alawula iziqithi, kubandakanya amaFenike kunye namaCarthaginians, amaRoma, amaGrike, ama-Arabhu, amaNorman, amaAragonese., Knights of St. John, French, and British, phakathi kwabanye.

I-Malta ngokunyukayo ibizwa ngokuba yi- city-state, [11] kwaye ikwadweliswe kuluhlu olubhekiselele kwizixeko okanye imimandla yemetropolitan.
