Cospicua's original name Bormla was changed by the Knights to Cospicua ('Conspicious') after the town's residents distinguished themselves during the Great Siege. The town's massive dockyard employed over 10,000 workers at its peak and was the economic engine of the entire harbour area. During WWII, Cospicua was among the most heavily bombed areas in Malta's Grand Harbour region.
