History

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.
