Lost village · 1517
Aabla
Aabla on the western shore of the Juminda peninsula was first written down in 1517 as Habbelach, a coastal village of Kiiu manor. When the land was divided between Kiiu and Kolga manors, so was the village: Aabla bay became the border, with Kiiu-Aabla, the German 'Gross Habila', to the north and Kolga-Aabla, 'Klein Habila', to the south. The two were officially joined as one Aabla only between 1977 and 1997. The name comes from the bay, and at its root is haab, the aspen tree.

Eesti keeles
Juminda poolsaare läänekaldal asuv Aabla on esmakordselt kirja pandud 1517. aastal Kiiu mõisa rannakülana Habbelach. Kui maa jagati Kiiu ja Kolga mõisa vahel, jagati ka küla: piiriks sai Aablaht, põhja poole jäi Kiiu-Aabla ehk saksa keeles Gross Habila ja lõuna poole Kolga-Aabla ehk Klein Habila. Ametlikult olid külad ühendatud üheks Aablaks vaid aastatel 1977–1997. Nimi tuleb lahe nimest, mille aluseks on puuliik haab.
