The place-name 'Mulbarton' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Molkebertuna and Molkebertestuna. The name means "outlying dairy farm", the first element being the Old English 'meoluc' meaning 'milk', and the second element the Old English 'beretun' meaning 'barley town or settlement', hence 'farm'.[3]
The population at the 2001 census was 2,827,[4] increasing to 3,521 at the 2011 census.[5]
Facilities include one school (Mulbarton Primary School), an Adnams' public house, The World's End, a social club, two convenience stores (Spar and Co-op), a church, a fish-and-chip shop, a Chinese takeaway, and a MOT and vehicle repair centre.
