Kristiine (Estonian for 'Christina') is one of the 8 administrative districts (Estonian: linnaosa) of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
Kristiine is divided into 3 subdistricts (Estonian: asum):
The name of Kristiine originates from the Swedish Queen Christina, under whose rule in 1653 the area was divided[2] into 46 pieces (each of them 9 ha) and sold to businessmen and city officials for 100 riksdaler. The whole area was called Christinental (Valley of Christina) and later Kristiine hayfield.[3]
The elder of the district is Andrei Novikov (as of September 2013).
Population
[edit]Kristiine has a population of 31,739 (As of 1 November 2014[update]).[1]
