The name "Linkeittä" is derived from the Finnish word "linkeittää," which means "to draw with a rope."

During the Middle Ages, the village was an important center for trade and commerce, with many merchants passing through on their way to other parts of Finland.

Today, Linkeittä is a small and quiet community with a handful of residents. Despite its small size, the village is still an important part of the surrounding region's cultural and historical landscape.
