The party got its name in 3 May 2003. The former name was Noored Mõõdukad (Youth Moderates) in 1998–2003 when Eesti Sotsiaaldemokraatlik Noorteliit (Estonian Social Democratic Youth Union) and Noored Tsentristid (Young Centrists) united. Eesti Sotsiaaldemokraatlik Noorteliit was formed in 12 December 1992 as the youth wing of the Estonian Social Democratic Party. Noored Tsentristid was the youth wing of Eesti Maa-Keskerakond (Estonian Rural Centre Party). In 2000, the youth wing of Eesti Rahvaerakond (Estonian People's Party) called Vox was united with Youth Moderates, since their mother parties had also united.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
