Narva[a] is a municipality and city in Estonia. It is located in the Ida-Viru County, at the eastern extreme point of Estonia, on the west bank of the Narva river which forms the Estonia–Russia international border. With 53,626 inhabitants (as of 2023) Narva is Estonia's third largest city after capital Tallinn and Tartu.
Narva was nearly completely destroyed in 1944 during World War II.[3] During the Soviet occupation of Estonia in 1944–1991, the city's original inhabitants were not permitted to return, and instead immigrant workers from Russia and other distant parts of the former Soviet Union were settled in Narva.[4][3] Narva’s population, 65% ethnic Estonian as of the 1934 census, became overwhelmingly non-Estonian in the second half of the 20th century.[4] According to more recent data, 46.7% of the city's inhabitants are citizens of Estonia, 36.3% are citizens of the Russian Federation, while 15.3% had undefined citizenship (as of 2013).[5]
