Jumala is Finnish for god and Jomala is one of the sites where the Christian church organized itself in Finland.

[citation needed] Jomala was inhabited around 2000 BC with Jettböle being one of the most renowned prehistoric sites.

Other ancient sites include Borgberget, where there was a Viking fortress, and Kasberget which was one of the many mountains where signal fires were lit when enemies were seen approaching.

[6] Since Jomala belongs to the Swedish-speaking areas of Finland, Midsummer is celebrated every year by hoisting up a maypole.
