Einbi
Einbi ( sv, Enby) is a village in Lääne-Nigula Parish, Lääne County. It is the westernmost settlement in mainland Estonia. History Einbi is believed to be the oldest village in Noarootsi. The earliest written mention of the village is from 1457 in the form of ''Enbue'', though local tradition places its origin in the Viking period. Archaeological evidence places the founding of the village in the 10th century AD, when it was settled by Estonian Swedes. The early Swedish settlers lived by fishing, hunting seals, and raising cattle. Because the land surrounding Einbi is sandy and rocky, early settlers depended largely on the sea for their livelihood. In the 19th century, a coin was found in Einbi that was minted in the reign of Ethelred II (976-1016). Einbi had between 210 and 399 residents during the period 1839-1924. This made it one of the larger villages in Estonia. During the 1880s, Estonians began to move into Einbi. In the beginning of Estonian settlement in Einbi, rel ...
