History
History
The settlement dates to the sixteenth century. The German-language name of the town was Wöchma. It began to grow when a railway station, located on the Tallinn - Viljandi railway line operated by Elron (rail transit), opened in 1899. Võhma was named a borough in 1945 and a town in 1993. In the period from 1928 to 1996 it was largely known for its slaughterhouse. The closure of the slaughterhouse caused a spike in unemployment, but the town has somewhat rebounded since then. During the Cold War it was home to Võhma air base. It was located 4km north of Võhma, in Ollepa.
