In 1961, the Havor Hoard was found at a hillfort in the small village of Havor in Hablingbo. Hablingbo is the name of the socken as well as the district. It is also the name of the small village surrounding the medieval Hablingbo Church, sometimes referred to as Hablingbo kyrkby. It is situated on the southwest coast of Gotland. The area is rural with farming as the main source of income. Part of the farmed land is on the now drained Mästermyr mire. In the west, towards the coast, there are forests. As of 2019, Hablingbo Church belongs to Havdhem parish in Sudrets pastorat, along with the churches in Havdhem, Näs, Grötlingbo, Eke, and Silte.
