The place was first mentioned as Karuvõhma (Corgewames) in 1507. In 1538 a manor with the same name was mentioned. In the 1570s when the owner was J. Wetberg, the place gained the name of Vetepere. In 1694 it was merged to Albu manor. In 1782 the Vetepere (Uue-Albu) cattle manor was mentioned.
One of the most notable Estonian writers A. H. Tammsaare (1878–1940), was born on one of the bog islands in Vetepere. His notable novel Truth and Justice's (part I) main location Vargamäe farm appears very similar to Tammsaare's birthplace. In 1958, a museum dedicated to Tammsaare was opened there.
