The city has a total population of 6,901 , and by population, is the largest locality in Gozo. The area around the town, situated on a hill near the centre of the island, has been settled since Neolithic times. Victoria is the name given on 10 June 1887 by the British government on the occasion of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, at the request of His Excellency The Most Rev.

It is usually known as Rabat, Gozo to distinguish it from the town of Rabat on the main island of Malta.
