About Tartu linn

Tartu linn is a district. Location: Tartu, Estonia. Population: 101,032.

From Wikipedia

Tartu (Estonian: Tartu linn) is an urban municipality of Estonia, in Tartu County. It consists of the city of Tartu, as well as the former Tähtvere Parish bordering the city in the north-west. Prior to the 2017 administrative reform, Tartu held negotiations with all neighbouring parishes, with Tähtvere Parish eventually being the only one to agree to the merge. The municipality is thus separate from the neighbouring Tartu Parish.
