Hakin
Hakin is a small coastal town in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It belongs to the parish of Hubberston in the historical hundred of Roose. It is located directly to the west of the larger town of Milford Haven, and is often considered a district of the latter. It has a population of 2,313 inhabitants as of 2001.〔(KS01 Usual Resident Population: Census 2001 ) 'Key Statistics for Urban Areas', Office For National Statistics〕 It is mainly residential in nature. ==Etymology==
The name Hakin is derived from the Old English Hecke, meaning ''"corner in the bend of the stream"'', and the German Ecken, meaning ''"a point of land"''.〔Hakin CP Junior School ''Hakin: A Pictorial History: Book 1'', C.I.T Print Services, Haverfordwest, 1998. ASIN B0018LIPK2〕 The word was used as a geographical term to describe the location of an area, as late as 1794. The term Haking to describe the current boundary was first recorded in 1861, in the ''British Postal Guide'', provided as a sub-office under Milford.〔 Prior to this, the area had been referred to as Hubberston, or Hubberston-Haking.〔
