Geocache Description:


Tootsi is a town (former borough) in Pärnu County.

In 2017, during the administrative reform of Estonian local governments many municipalities joined as a municipality of Northern Pärnu County.

The town has a basic school, a kindergarten, a library, a pharmacy, a sports complex with a swimming pool, a post office, a nursing home, two shops, a cat room and much more.

The settlement was established in 1939 near the briquette factory, which building was started in Pööravere Suursoo in the autumn of 1937 and which started the production of briquettes in February 1939. During the construction of the factory, the Pööravere Briquette Industry was renamed Tootsi Briquette Industry after the nearby Tootsi cattle manor. A 3 km long branch road was built from Tootsi railway station to the completed Tootsi briquette factory. The peat was transported from the dried bog to the factory using the railway network.

The first workers' houses in the settlement were built in 1938 on drained bogs and forests. Tootsi became a town in 1949.

BYOP!!! The camera is geo-friendly ;)

 

Tootsi on alev (endine alevvald) Pärnumaal.

Vald liitus 2017. aastal Eesti omavalitsuste haldusreformi käigus naabervaldadega Põhja-Pärnumaa vallaks.

Alevis asuvad põhikool, lasteaed, raamatukogu, apteek, spordikompleks ujulaga, postipunkt, hooldekodu, kaks poodi, kassituba ja palju muud.

Asula tekkis 1939.a briketitehase lähedusse, mida hakati ehitama Pööravere Suursoos 1937. aasta sügisel ning mis alustas briketitootmist 1939. aasta veebruaris. Pööravere Briketitööstus nimetati veel vabriku ehitamise ajal ümber Tootsi Briketitööstuseks lähedalasuva Tootsi karjamõisa järgi. Tootsi raudteejaamast rajati valmiva Tootsi briketivabriku juurde 3 km pikkune harutee. Kuivendatud soost veeti turvast rabaraudtee võrgu abil vabrikusse.

Asula esimesed töölismajad rajati 1938. aastal kuivendatud soo- ja metsaalale. Tootsi sai alevi staatuse 1949. aastal.

Kirjutusvahend kaasa!!! Kaamerasilm on geosõbralik ;)
