Populated places in Estonia






Populated places in Estonia


Populated places in Estonia (officially: settlement units[1]), are cities or settlement units of rural municipalities, but only cities have administrative functions. Settlement units are divided into settlements[2] and urban regions[3] (subdivisions of cities).


Officially there are five types of settlement units in Estonia:




  • city (est: linn)


  • cities without municipal status (est: vallasisene linn)


  • town (est: alev)


  • small town (est: alevik)


  • village (est: küla)
