Kohtla-Järve, Industrial city in northeastern Estonia
The city consists of five administrative districts spanning across Ida-Viru County, with Järve and Ahtme being the main urban centers separated by 10 kilometers.
The settlement began with oil shale mining in 1919, leading to the establishment of a processing factory in 1924 and official city status in 1946.
The central park features an avenue of fountains leading to Kultuurikeskus, where residents participate in community events and performances throughout the year.
The territory connects to major transportation routes, positioned along the Tallinn-Saint Petersburg railway and road network for efficient regional access.
The population demographics shifted from 90% Estonian in 1934 to a Russian majority by 2000 due to industrial labor migration during the Soviet period.
