Habsburg (High Alemannic: Hapschberg) is a municipality in the district of Brugg in canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

While Bronze Age and Roman era artifacts have been discovered, a village named Habsburg isn't mentioned until 1027, as Habesbur or Habeburch.

[3] The documentation of the village in 1027 is contemporary with Count Radbot's construction of Habsburg Castle.

It is believed that they named the castle after a hawk (German: Habicht) seen sitting on its walls.

The economy was almost exclusively agriculture (including a little viticulture) until 1800 when a small plaster industry came to the village.

The municipal water supply was built in 1908 and in 1916 the village was connected to the electric grid.

By 1960 the population decreased due to lack of earning potential and from the remote location.

Of the rest of the land, 0.2 square kilometers (0.077 sq mi) or 9.0% is settled (buildings or roads).

[8] The age distribution, as of 2008[update], in Habsburg is; 35 children or 8.2% of the population are between 0 and 9 years old and 54 teenagers or 12.6% are between 10 and 19.

[10] About 62.3% of the total households were owner occupied, or in other words did not pay rent (though they may have a mortgage or a rent-to-own agreement).

[12] The historical population is given in the following table:[3][9] Habsburg Castle is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance.

[8] From the 2000 census[update], 85 or 23.1% were Roman Catholic, while 220 or 59.8% belonged to the Swiss Reformed Church.
