The municipal government is located in the town hall. Built in 1920, it is the former hotel Jadran.[6]
The name of the municipality comes from the former village of Dubašnica. It had been the seat of the municipality grouping the villages of modern Malinska-Dubašnica for centuries before its disappearance by a malaria epidemic in the 18th century. Today, Dubašnica can also refer to a region that covers the same villages and territory as Malinska-Dubašnica.[7] The name is derived from "Dub", an old Slavic word for oak. [8] Oak forests made the island attractive for ship builders, dating to Liburnian times.[9]
Malinska harbor was used as a port due to its protection from bura wind as well as its depth. [10]
