Jõgeva (German: Laisholm) is a small town in Estonia with a population of around 6000 people. It is the administrative centre of Jõgeva County. It is known as the coldest place in Estonia with the lowest temperature of 43.5 °C (46 °F). It is the birthplace of Estonian poet Betti Alver. Jõgeva was first mentioned in 1599 as Jagiwa manor, being established only recently on the lands of the same named village by the orders of the Polish king. During the Polish reign in Estonia (1582-1622) it was part of Laiuse starostwo, which became Laiuse fief during Swedish rule (1622-1721). In 1756 Jõgeva manor became the property of Gotthard Johann von Manteuffel (16901763) and remained in the family of von Manteuffel until 1919 when it was nationalized by the government. In 1876 a railway station, named Laisholm after the manor, was established near the village of Jõgeva. The owner of Jõgeva manor, Ernst Gotthard von Manteuffel (18441922), started renting out land around the railway station in 1903. After that, the village started to grow quikly. On October 13, 1919 Jõgeva became a borough and on May 1, 1938 a town.
