Harjamaa
Harjamaa is a historical region in northern Estonia, bordering the Baltic Sea to the north. It encompasses the area that is now predominantly occupied by Tallinn, the capital city, and its surrounding counties. Historically, Harjamaa was a significant administrative and economic center, its development closely tied to the port of Tallinn, known historically as Reval. The region's fertile lands and strategic location along important trade routes contributed to its early settlement and growth.
The name "Harjamaa" is believed to derive from the Estonian word "hari," meaning "ridge" or "backbone," likely
