Narva was conquered by Russia in 1558. It then fell to Swedish rule in 1581, and remained so until 1704, when it was recaptured by Russia. While under Russian rule, Narva began to develop as an industrial town, particularly from the mid-19th century. It became part of Estonia following the First World War.
Due to its proximity to Russia, Narva has a predominantly Russian-speaking population which was not particularly happy that the town became part of Estonia.
