History

In 1922, the joint-stock company Eesti Kiviõli (i.e., 'Estonian stone oil') established an oil shale quarry in land belonging to the village of Salaküla, and mining commenced in 1930. A worker's settlement belonging to the village of Varinurme was built in the 1930s and named Kiviõli after the joint-stock company. Kiviõli became a town in 1946.[2]
