Think about it, in 4x06 the guard said that the town had been overrun and they had to evacuate the castle for a short time. In 1x12, one if the knights said Avonlea had fallen, and it seemed that it happened far from the castle. I think Avonlea is the name of their kingdom or the capital's name (a lot of people would consider conquering the capital the same thing as taking down the kingdom or country) and calling upon the Dark One was a last resort for Maurice (and the kingdom falling to the ogres seems to a time when summoning Rumple would be a good idea). True, I agree that the kingdom/capital is Avonlea. Belle's town lacks a name, which is why some may simply call it Avonlea, since it's related to it. I do find it funny of its English/British origin, then again Belle and Maurice are Australian, lol.
