Vööla
About 670 years ago Vööla village on the Noarootsi peninsula sat on an island of its own, shared with Hara village. Hara's people were Estonian, while Vööla was home to Estonian Swedes, whose name for it, Bysholm, means 'village island'. A manor house was built in 1775 and Vööla manor was split from Uugla in 1783. The land kept rising, and by the second half of the 19th century the island had joined Noarootsi, though in the 1850s narrow channels still separated it. In the 1970s Vööla was merged into Hara.

Eesti keeles
Umbes 670 aastat tagasi asus Noarootsi poolsaarel Vööla küla koos Hara külaga omaette saarel. Hara elanikud olid eestlased, Vöölas elasid aga eestirootslased, kelle nimi Bysholm tähendab külasaart. 1775. aastal ehitati saarele härber ja 1783. aastal eraldati Uugla mõisast Vööla mõis. Maa kerkis ja 19. sajandi teiseks pooleks oli saar Noarootsiga kokku kasvanud, kuigi 1850. aastatel eraldasid seda veel kitsad väinad. 1970. aastatel liideti Vööla Hara külaga.
