Estonian Transit Industry celebrated its 760th Anniversary two years ago. Early Estonian history, the emergence and development of medieval towns was based on geographical advantages and the transit trade.

This date is considered as a start of organized transit trade in Estonia, and is celebrated as TRANSESTONIA's anniversary. In the end of the thirteenth century Tallinn joined the Hanseatic League and over the next couple of hundred years it played an important role in the relations of the Hanseatic League with Russian, especially Novgorod tradesmen.
