Evidence of some of the oldest prehistoric communities in Estonia, hunting and fishing communities that existed around
6500 BC, were found near Kunda.

Kunda culture.

Kunda air base facility 13 km west of Kunda has served Soviet and Estonian defense interests.
Trivia
"Kunda" means "cunt" in
Czech and
Slovak, leading to amusement amongst Slovak and Czech internet users, just like the name of
Ziva Kunda which would mean "a living cunt" if written with a
ž instead of
z and
á instead of
a.
It is similarly hilarious as the Austrian village of
Fucking is to English speaking persons.
