Nõmme was founded by Nikolai von Glehn, the owner of Jälgimäe Manor, in 1873 [4] 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 in 1940, it was merged with Tallinn and remains as one of the eight districts of Tallinn to date.
There are many historical sights in Nõmme, such as the Glehn's Castle, Kalevipoeg sculpture (also known as "Glehn's Devil"), the "Victoria Palace" cinema, and Nõmme Market. Other important sights include Vanaka hill, the ski jumping tower, Rahumäe cemetery, and Pääsküla Bog.
There are 6 stations in Nõmme on the Western route of Elron: Rahumäe, Nõmme, Hiiu, Kivimäe, Pääsküla, Laagri. The Western route of Edelaraudtee passes through Liiva station, which is also located in Nõmme.
