[edit] History
Nõmme was founded by Nikolai von Glehn, the owner of Jälgimäe Manor, in 1878 as a summerhouse district. The development started around the railway station. In 1926 it was granted town rights, but in the beginning of the Soviet occupation (1940), it was unified to Tallinn and remains a part of Tallinn today.
[edit] Geography
Nõmme is divided into 10 subdistricts (Estonian: asum): Hiiu, Kivimäe, Laagri, Liiva, Männiku, Nõmme, Pääsküla, Rahumäe, Raudalu, Vana-Mustamäe.
There are 6 stations in Nõmme on the Elektriraudtee's western route: Rahumäe, Nõmme, Hiiu, Kivimäe, Pääsküla, Laagri. Plus there's a Liiva station on Edelaraudtee's western route.
