On 8 August 1976, a Letipea massacre between resting workers and drunk Soviet border guards took place in Letipea, resulting in the death of 8 people, with 18 more being injured.

Letipea Landscape Conservation Area (area 608.8 ha) was founded on 30 January 1992. It was proposed by Marek Vahula and others in 3 days, as a bird reserve instead of a building plan of the port of Kunda. Since 2009, it has been a possible location for the Estonian nuclear power station.
