It is known that Kehra village was practically uninhabited after the Polish-Swedish war in 1615, while "Jaunack" and "Karrock" remained practically untouched. The village recovered from the demographic crisis by the second half of the 17th century. Kehra manor was built next to the "Karrock" mill sometime between 1624-1637. By 1660s, the manor owned all the nearby lands, including Kehra village, "Jaunack" and "Karrock." The manor's lands were ravaged by the bubonic plague in 1710 and 1711, only 14 out of the previous 146 inhabitants survived. The population recovered to pre-plague levels in approximately 40 years. By 1856, Kehra village had transformed from a clustered settlement to a linear settlement.
