The island was an independent municipality of Finland populated by Finns since at least the 16th century. The Seiskari municipality was formed from the Koivisto municipality in 1903. It was part of the province of Viipuri in the South Karelia region. It was ceded to the Soviet Union following the 1940 Moscow Peace Treaty. Prior to the transfer of sovereignty, it was also known as Siskar.
