The trendsetting Kalamaja district is in fact one of Tallinn's oldest urban areas. During the Middle Ages, mainly fishermen and sailors lived here, giving the area its name ( Kalamaja means "fishhouse" in Estonian). Between the 17th and 19th centuries, the area housed strategically important defensive buildings. The end of the 19th century brought fast industrial development, and up until the beginning of World War II, Estonian's most important fishing port was located here. Kalamaja came into its prime in the 1920s and 1930s when many new houses were built in the area. These now iconic dwellings are called "Tallinn houses", they are built from wood and have two to three stories. In the 1930s, Kalamaja was idyllic - children's laughter echoed in the inner courtyards behind wooden fences and there were large patches of greenery for gardens and orchards. In the 1940s, Kalamaja began to gradually fall into decline. However, the beginning of the 21st century saw the gentrification of the area. The new art- and culture -loving residents of Kalamaja have opened businesses and created a strong local community.
