Ida-Viru County, Administrative region in northeastern Estonia.
The county extends along the Baltic Sea coast and Russian border, containing industrial towns, protected natural areas, and extensive mining operations.
The region transformed from the Kohtla-Järve district during Soviet times to an Estonian county in 1991, maintaining its industrial significance.
The population includes Estonian and Russian communities, each contributing distinct languages, celebrations, and traditions throughout the eight municipalities.

The area contains Europe's largest deposits of oil shale, which supplies most of Estonia's electricity through thermal power generation.
