Holywood Urban Area is categorised as a medium town within the Belfast Metropolitan Urban Area (BMUA) by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, with the 2001 Census recording a permanent population of 12037. Within this population, around 20 percent are aged under 16 years of age and 21 percent were aged 60 and over. 50.6 percent of the population is male and 49.4 percent is female. The railway line from Belfast to Holywood arrived in 1848, and this led to rapid development. This expansion, in conjunction with that of neighboring towns and villages along the coastal strip to Bangor, demanded the building and construction of the Holywood Bypass in the early 1970s. The town is a popular suburb and is noted for its trendy shops, boutiques, arts and crafts. Holywood is most widely known for its maypole at the crossroads in the centre of town. Its origin remains rather vague, however, according to regional legend, it stems from 1700, when a Dutch ship is said to have actually run aground on the shore nearby, and the crew set up the damaged mast to display their gratitude of the help provided to them by the townsfolk. The maypole continues to be in routine use for dancing at the annual May Day fair. The town also holds a yearly jazz and blues festival. There are plenty of sporting options in Holywood, being the home of football clubs, golf clubs, cricket clubs and an athletics association.
