It is an old area, centred around an old village, and is referenced back to 570 AD (Mervyn Archdall) but after years of light settlement, with a main village and a coastal hamlet, grew rapidly in the 20th century, and is now a mid-density Northside suburb with a village core.

In the Centre of Raheny village stands a tall Celtic stone cross with the inscription "Heal the sick, say unto them the Kingdom of God is come unto you. Marie Elizabeth Hayes, doctor and missionary." Marie Elizabeth Hayes was born in Raheny in 1874. She worked as a doctor and missionary in India but she died after a patient with the pneumonic plague bit her on the finger. The ruins of St Assam's Church lie in the centre of Raheny Village. St Assam is thought to have been a disciple of St Patrick.
All Saints' Church, Raheny was built by Lord Ardilaun who owned St Anne's estate in the late nineteenth century.
The crescent cottages in Raheny were built around 1790 by Samuel Dick, the Governor of the Bank of Ireland and a very wealthy man. He built the cottages for men who worked on his estate.
