Founded on the lowest crossing point of the River Haselika, Toret was chartered in 892, although the earliest record of a market held at the Haselika Govila dates from 864. As well as the market square, the major part dating from 1752, the city has a beautiful cathedral square built in 1624. The highly respected partisag is supported by a large number of schools, including that attended by Volit Upenta.
Toret was the site of the first railway station in Spranten, constructed in 1845, the site of which is now a park. The modern railway station was completed in 1922 and provides direct connections to many other cities, as well as the largest goods yard in the country.
