"People have lived here, at the mouth of the river, for 11,000 years. In 1251 AD, the Episcopal Pärnu Dome Church of the Saare-Lääne diocese was inaugurated and the first town was established on the right bank of the river. A dozen years later it was vandalised, and the residents established an Order Town, New-Pärnu, on the left bank of the river. In the 14th century it developed into a Hanseatic town, and in the 16th century it became an administrative centre. In the 17th centre it became a university town, in the 18th century once again a town of merchants, in the 19th century a health resort, in the 20th century the summer capital of Estonia, and in the 21st century an experience resort along the Baltic Sea."
