The ending on the community’s name suggests a Celtic origin.Population developmentOver the last few decades, Poing has developed rapidly from a small village into the second biggest community in the S-Bahn line 2 area and into the second biggest community in Ebersberg after Vaterstetten. In 2006, it overtook the once dominant neighboring community of Kirchheim. The sharp rise in population is due to the many new building projects in the northern area of the city, to which no end is yet foreseen.
