Name edit
Keskküla was attested in written sources as Groodt Keszküll and Klein Keszküll in 1534, and as Keskull maior and Keskull minor in 1539. The names refer to a former pair of villages, literally 'big Keskküla' and 'little Keskküla'. In the 18th century, the latter developed into what is now Kasari, and the former developed into Keskküla Manor. The name literally means 'middle village'.[2]
