Its geographical position places it away from major urban centers, contributing to a quiet and rural lifestyle for its inhabitants.

The history of Mõrkjat is intertwined with the broader agricultural development of the region. Like many Estonian villages, its origins can likely be traced back to early settlements that were focused on farming and forestry. Over time, the settlement evolved, with dwellings and farmsteads establishing themselves in the area. The population of Mõrkjat is relatively small, reflecting the nature of rural Estonian villages.

The local environment surrounding Mõrkjat is typical of northern Estonia, featuring forests, fields, and meadows. This natural setting provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and exploring. The village itself lacks significant public amenities or commercial enterprises, with residents typically relying on nearby larger settlements for services such as shops, schools, and healthcare facilities. Transportation to and from Mõrkjat is primarily facilitated by local roads connecting it to the wider road network of Lääne-Viru County. The proximity to the Baltic Sea coast, though not directly on the coast, influences the climate and natural surroundings.
