Pärnu County, Administrative division in southwestern Estonia

The largest county in Estonia spans 4,806 square kilometers, featuring coastal areas along the Gulf of Riga and extensive forested regions.

Archaeological findings near Sindi reveal the oldest human settlement in Estonia, dating back to 8500 BCE during the Mesolithic period.

The county maintains Estonian traditions through markets, events, and festivals, with the Weekend Festival drawing electronic music enthusiasts from Baltic regions.

The region contains seven municipalities, including one urban area and six rural districts, connected by public transportation networks throughout the territory.

The Pulli settlement site, located two kilometers up the Pärnu River, contains archaeological evidence of the first inhabitants of the entire Estonian territory.
