In the early 17th century the centre of the village shifted some kilometers south to the area of Tallinn-Narva road river crossing and the tavern.

Situated on the historic division line of Harju and Viru counties the local administrative borders have constantly changed here.

Since the 1939 reform however, when the county border skipped a few kilometers eastward, Valgejõe, Vanaküla and Parksi lands were moved between multiple different administrative units, but always together.

On 20 September 1290, Danish King Erik Menved expanded the lands of cistercians from Gotland around the Kolga sub-monastery, listing among other villages Witena/Valgejõe.

From the beginning of the 20th century the house was used by Kolga majorate manor's (fidei-comiss) forest managers and later by Valgejõe forestry.
